Development issues of some sort, but I still like this shot. its from my first roll with a Leica:
A Rolleicord shot from the Fremont Solstice Parade in Seattle. In retrospect, i wish I'd taken more shots of the photographers. The previous year, I saw photographers bordering on exceptionally creepy photographing nude participants in the parade. A few walked up to people and took a dozen shots of genitals. It made me self conscious as a photographer to be honest. This year I took a few shots of how photographers interacted with people. I didn't involve myself enough as a participant in the scene to get great shots out of self consciousness. Maybe next year.
Canonet QL 17 GIII, taken at U District Street Fair in Seattle. Not the best shot but I really admire the character of the photographer. I generally try to blend in and be invisible. He had a different shooting style; he felt more like a participant to me than I ever do.
