Random B&W 35mm

James Ryan · Apr 8, 2010

While I wait for my new DSLR to arrive, I thought I'd share a few pictures taken from my old X700. None of them are planned, just snapshots of random thing that catch my fancy. Feel free to comment/criticize! I need to learn somehow and my friends won't say anything bad about my pictures. Drives me crazy because I KNOW there are things I need to improve. Sorry for the lousy scans! Thats what is causing the pinkish hue.

1) The Point- Boston

2) Looking Up

3) Mrs. Sarah

4) The Bronze Ass

5) Bunker Hill

6) Barbed

7) Cowboy- Alabama

I was thinking the same thing, actually. But in that Boston grave yard (Park Street Church?) there are a lot of famous/semi-famous dead people, and there are very few elaborate headstones. Maybe at that time, this was considered elaborate.
