Contax G2 film camera, 45mm f2 lens.Inspiration
There is a famous open air art market at Montmartre and as I walked around I saw this drawing and the artist sitting nearby. I gestured that I wanted to take his photo but he waved me off. I passed him again over the next couple of hours, each time being rebuffed. Finally, with the help of an English speaking artist next to his display I was able to convince him of my idea and he started laughing....but agreed to 1 photo only!Editing
Film scanned as accurately to the original as possible. No post processing needed.In my camera bag
Small equipment....Contax then, Fuji now. Limited lens choices by preference.Feedback
If at first you don't succeed.....
