Hi Nathan,

I like them all: the big advantage of doing analog is that your shots  
tend to be more pensative.
I also love the soft look of the B&W. Scala is a great film. It's  
only difficult to get it developed.
Over here, there's only one address in the whole of Belgium.

Thanks for showing,
Philippe
