I've linked your Carpeteria Genie photo to mine .
Its part of the dA linking that I like to participate in.
Your photo was a definite and wonderful inspiration... just wish I had a lift or access to a rooftop to get a better angle

Right?? I always have all these ideas and shots in mind, and when I get there and look at him up there I'm always like, "crap". There's just no way to do it without climbing on the roof, which I plan on doing in the near future haha. Love your shot!

Thanks for liking my Vegas stuff. Not exactly traditional subject for DA, but I see you don't let that in your way either. It'll take almost forever to go through your Vegas stash.
Keep it goin' Vegas style,
Don-O

looking at your photos, i wonder if your camera is not leaking light.
this combination of cyan and red is not very good looking and it corrupts everything in a image: color, brightness, contrast, etc...
hope this helps.

Personally, I love the light leaks, and it's the reason I used the camera I use. I love the simplicity and uniqueness of every photo. I shoot 35mm and digital when wanting to document/capture an image clearly, but I use this camera and this film for it's raw, vintage, and artistic effect.
Thank you for commenting!!
