[Leica] 8x10 Street Photography

[Richard Man]

Don re: " A beginning to your project."

I have no lack of ideas for projects, it's a matter of time and money.
Sadly, my "free" time might be severely shortened with a normal job, we
will see...

Thanks all for look and comments. Here's the pic of Alice's Restaurant. I
took 2 images to get the flag in the best wavy motion, and this one, the
first one, nails it pretty well.

These are the last sheets from an box of old TXP-320 gifted by a friend. I
have some Pancro 400 and it looks pretty good, but I need to source some
more inexpensive 8x10 film stock. Shanghai GP3 is ~$4 a sheet, so I will be
trying that.
