While shaping a self-portrait with off-camera flash, a fortunate consequence was the shadow of my glasses emulating a Batman mask.

Walking by this storefront, I saw her standing behind the bar.  I waved my camera as an ask for permission for a photo. She obliged.

52Frames - Week 34 - Humor

Inspired by the smiley face I put on every one of my golf balls.  This time, I decided to think about it from the golf ball's perspective.

I had not shot BW film for awhile, nor the Minolta X-700.  Figured a trip to the Leica store would be a good opportunity to do so.  This is a small collection of photos from the day.
