Stopped in to my local photo shop to grab some 35mm sleeves. They still had the remnants of their garage sale out. In a box full of dev tank bits was this complete Nikor 12x 4x5 tank. With all the pieces. <$5! Sweet!

I quite enjoy shooting with lomo turquoise even though it’s definitely in the realm of gimmick. I’m excited to shoot some of this and glad it’s helping them get to a stable, final color product. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

A stereo pair from handheld shots with a charmer. There is a small moving kid in the foreground which does mess with the 3d effect.
