I especially find the procession photos haunting and mysterious and very beautiful. Your photography with the M8 is great. The noise in the ISO 2500 photos doesn't bother me at all. It's the photo subjects that are important. I don't think you could do better with film. Again a very nice series and story. Very well done.
