dia beacon: fall 2015

Meet my new friend, minolta

Got lucky with this impulse buy on Ebay. I bought a used Minolta X-700 body along with 3 different fixed lenses and shot everything in its aperture-priority setting with a Kodak Gold film as a the first test roll. I'd say Walgreens did a pretty good job of processing & scanning the film. Here are a few shots:

More NYC: Brooklyn Bridge

More photos from the Nikon FM10 of exploring Dumbo and Brooklyn Bridge with Janie and Kayeon. We decided we were going to walk across it to commit to the full touristy mode. It was my first time - and I obviously fell in love with it hard. Too many photos, perhaps. Some architecture amazes me, especially bridges.

Exploring DUMBO!

I was in New York last week for about 5 days for job searching and interviews. Well. I actually ended up having way more fun than I had anticipated thanks to some of the most wonderful friends that are making it big in the city. They came with me to Dumbo to support me with my interviews, and we explored the area afterwards. Feeling so blessed and thankful.

 

I fell in love with Dumbo, by the way. It's just over the bridge across from manhattan, but it's drastically quieter and relaxed. Maybe I'm getting old or something, but being in this part of Brooklyn gave me a breather and helped me to appreciate every little corner that had its own characteristics.
