]]> Recently, I went on a Classic analog photography walk. It seemed the time for the “Land Rover” of cameras, the vintage Nikomat, yes, the Japanese name, produced between 1965 and 1978. This is a heavy body (FT-N, 67-73) with lots of metal, yet very reliable and durable. Totally mechanic with few malfunctions that could not be repaired. The handling is similar to the Minolta SRT series. Here, I have used fresh Kodak TMax100.

On these walks, my eye is drawn to repeating patterns.
Lovely patina on the sign at Bergamot Station.
The beautiful construction inside Tongva Park.
The view focuses on the ocean immediately.
Good fences…
