Do it well, or don't do it at all. Its easy to fall into snap trap when carrying camera everyday, especially with film where everything looks better straight from the lab. Here's to making less images but hopefully better.

3. Gravel at the industrial site near Targówek railway, Warsaw.
Proimage consistently delivers. I wish I had 3dLUT based on it...

Cats are everywhere in Marmaris and the locals do great job of keeping them fed and moving around unrestricted. Still, You don't have to look too long to spot a single weaker, less fortunate soul that won't make it.

Had lender X100V from @tomczyk on this one as a backup in case airports cooked all my film, ended up shooting both just as often. I'll miss this lens and extra space in the ovf soon enough.
