Old print, new scanner. This was taken in Oakland’s chinatown back in 2002 or so. I love the shallow depth of field you get with a slow film, an old mechanical SLR and a 50mm Prime lens.

Just so you know, it’s not all city shots and toy cameras around here.
A little blown out, but I like the effect. Canon FTb, 50/1.8 lens. Most likely shooting with Kodak UC 400 at midday, hence the blow out.
