Sunday afternoon in Central Park long ago / Nikon Ftn
Central Park in the seventies was absolutely phenomenal. On any weekend afternoon it was an ongoing show. Here are two guitarists shot with the Nikkor 105 F2.5.

That fabulous 120 format / Yashicamat 124
I love the square format and the way the looking down focusing, showing you the entire negative and how things appeared size wise on the negative. The reversed image was a thing that one got used for. The film was Tri-X Professional developed in D-76 1:1 dilution. BTW, the location was Madison Square Park in Manhattan.

Valley of the Temples, Agrigento / Canon FT
I have been posting many photos taken with the Canon FT. It was my first serious camera and together with the 50 1.4 FL, the 28 F 3.5 FL and the 85 F 1.6 FL I was set to go. This shot was taken in Agrigento, Sicily. It has a strange feeling, late afternoon with the sun low in the horizon creating the interesting lens flare. It was taken in front of the Tempio della Concordia. The film was Tri-X developed in D-76 1:1.

There was something right about the skin tones of the D 1-X. Only the Fuji S2-Pro did better. The Nikkor 35-135 F 3.5-4.5 was used.
