OK, today is the day - the Mermaid Parade in Coney Island. My first one by the way - have talked about this for years but was always somewhere else in the world when the parade happened.The weather is cooperating - they say it will be 90 plus degrees....should be a hoot at Coney...
This week I bought a new camera that uses film - yes, old fashioned film. The camera is small, compact and has one lens - 28MM. I really miss the look of film - the grain in 35mm can not be duplicated and adds that special texture to a well exposed image. I'm just saying!!! The other advantage is the amount of weight one has to deal with - reducing it to one camera and one lens really lightens the load, and on a hot day like today that will be golden...I will, of course, bring one digital camera as back up...
OK, off to the parade - check this space out tomorrow for some Mermaids...
The image above was captured in Jamaica, circa 1975....on film by the way!
