La Prairie
Here we go with my first PX-70 pictures. What to say? My hopes for the future are high. It was much easier to use than first flush of the PX-100. I love the poetic softness and subtle tones.

It felt liberating and uplifting to know I could shoot just any old thing without weighing up its merits and deciding whether it would constitute a waste of film. I think I more or less stopped taking what I think of as purely scenic, visual pictures when film resources became finite. I started realising that I had priorities and that pictures with a story or idea behind them came first for me. So it's highly refreshing to now be able to pick up a pack of this film and summarily shit all over my own very noble artistic priorities.

All this to say that these are four thoughtless, idea-less, content-less snaps and yes, it felt good. In the way that only thoroughly reprehensible activities ever can.

(The above notwithstanding, I do hope sharper material will some day also be available. The pictures I prefer to take often need sharper details to work.)
