Experiments in low megapixel digicams continues. For this set I used a 6mp Fujifilm F20 I picked up at a thrift for 4 dollars. Not too bad if I do say so myself.

Another shot off that first roll of Kodak Gold in 120. I feel like I managed to nail the exposure and focus here, but wish I had framed it up a little differently.

This is my first shot ever on medium format. I had my Yashica-C loaded with Kodak Gold 200 and thought, “Yeah, my work’s cafeteria is looking damn good right now.”
