These were shot with the Fuji GSW690. The jpeg images don't show it, but the detail is great, which is to be expected, but very nice to see. I use PMK Pyro developer on all my film. One of the characteristics of it is it emphasizes edge detail. Obviously it doesn't really work with the holga, because there's rarely sharp edge detail. But with this camera it does.
I really enjoy taking pictures of "scenic" stuff. While this type of picture isn't arty--like my Holga pics, I think it's quite challenging. I like the challenge of making a nice clean picture, where things are working. These are work prints, so not everything is working.

In a selfish personal way the effects have been somewhat so ironic/twisted/frustrating. As I keep thinking/reading/listening to things about this area, especially New Orleans, I want to visit to experience again, all the great things this city has to offer. The French Quarter was spared, including Cafe Du Monde and the St. Louis Cathedral.
