The photo above was one of the ones that...

Mass Photo Gathering In Defence Of Street Photography

Dear viewer, look away now if you don’t like grainy poorly exposed and focused B&W photos…
I pushed Tri-X to 1600 and in a fit of madness developed it in Rodinal. Since I was also guessing exposure and zone focusing the results are somewhat ‘interesting’. The images look slightly better resized when you click them.
