I'll look at this later, once I've regained my composure after giggling at the title. Brilliant.

Good to see folks walking around with actual photographic equipment, not just phones. 😀

Thank you Bruce - it's something I can't stop photographing - these were taken an age ago but I'm still up to it ... I'll search you out on instagram!

Thank you! Back in the day, when I used to shoot a lot with the Holga, I got pretty damn good at judging 1 metre away ... not so much now!

I'll have to remember this when I start doing photography again. I kind of put it aside when my previous computer, as well as my current one, started losing / misplacing my photographs. AAARRRGGH !

iPhoto lost all my pictures, and, now, every so often, Microsoft is sending them back to me. Does make you wonder.

@WriterPilgrim: in all honesty, I think you could be standing right next to people in London, and they'd always assume you're photographing something more interesting than they are. Read that twice, and you get the point.

Not to mention that when most people see my Holga, with it's elastic bands around it to keep the back on, they assume it'll never be able to take a photo anyway!

Did you happen to collect and curate street pics of women bakers in red fishnet stockings who make gluten-free donuts in Paris? You seem to have captured everything else over the years. Surely you must have at least one? 😉👊🏼
