Dan,
your corpus of work, speaks of you and says that you know, that photos are not just happy scenes, clear, sharp and bright. Muted colours and tenebrism, go hand in hand with life and the various expressions of it. The joy of the boy the stoic patience in the gaze of the old women. One smiling the other thinking, probably not of good things. Three persons three stories. Three unknown persons, three unknown stories. Three stories for the viewer to guess. What I just wrote about this picture I believe is absolutely true. It is an excellent picture. It is amazing how much can be told in a fraction of a second. That's the magic of photography.
Take care.

The film is old, the colours are faint and muted, the grain prevails, but the photo is absolutely marvellous!!! All the ingredients mentioned worked altogether, so to make your revisualisation to come true. Excellent.

Its not black and white. If you enlarge the pic it gets its colors back- strange!!!!!!!!!
Anyways i guess not too many will like it. It was shot with an old film i found in Giorgia that expired 14 years ago. As a matter of fact i wasnt sure i'll get any result at all.
For some odd reason i like it :)
I dont really know if i prefer any of them more than the other.
The MM is a great camera with very good iso.
The M6 and the film still produce some old and different look
I love them both
Yes, I found your other pictures with the MM.
I still have the M6, which I carry around. But there is only one place to get film processed by hand. I used to do all my own processing and scanning. I have posted a few M6 shots - the bicycle, for one.
Do you prefer one camera over the other?
Reminds me of life on the road. We photographers are a happy lot, compared to those we make pictures from - or I wonder if it's not sometimes the other way round?
Great capture. Is this your new camera now. Look forward to more work with the M.
