Vintage street photography

These images date from the early seventies, a period when I did a lot of street photography. Mostly shot with one of my Leicas and the 35mm F:2 Summicron lens. The film was usually Ektachrome 100 that I bought in 100 feet rolls and developed in Unicolor chemicals and mounted on Spiratone mounts with a Spiratone  little slide mount press. Naturally this was to save money. Today shooting is free but way back then it was rather costly.

 This image was made with a smart phone wide angle attachment that I bought at Dollar Tree for one dollar. Go figure.
