brett_davis1 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 On a recent nine-day trip to northern Italy, I decided to travel light, photographically. I took only my 0-Series, an old Gossen Luna Pro and an even older FOKOS rangefinder. Armed with five rolls of the new Kodak BW400CN chromogenic film, I decided to try street photography, Italian style. No bag, just a camera tucked in a pocket, and sometimes tethered to a $5 wrist strap. (Two people actually recognized the camera, both, oddly enough, on the island of Murano, near Venice. One was doing street photography of his own, carrying an R4, and the other worked in one of the glass shops. He said he was a big Leica fan--he was even wearing a red Leica lapel pin--but said he could not afford one. I hope he can someday.) Anyway, here are some of the results.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim_taylor3 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 All of them gave me the feeling of being in Italy in the '50s! Loved the images, very nostalgic feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
