I picked up this little film camera at a thrift store.
It does not have the weather proofing seals of most of the Infinity Zoom series of Olympus pocket cameras, so as a result it is a bit lighter and more compact.
Today was just beautiful, and I loaded the camera with a roll of Walgreens ASA 200 and headed into Saint Louis to give it a little test.
The Zoo was so crowded that I could not get near any parking.
But I found a corner of Forest Park that is a bit unfamiliar to me, and shot about 2/3 of the roll.
From there I headed to the Missouri Botanical Gardens, finishing the roll when I reached the George Washington Carver Garden.
The camera...the film...the artist...all performed perfectly.
My favorite is Forest Park 0004. Lovely scene and the red shirt at left
center is a fine touch. The photograph would look nice in a frame on the wall.
Thanks Ed.

When you opened with Forest Park, thought you were in Peoria, at ours. Be kind of wet for you if you was. Nice photos, love them all. Early Fall brings some angled light, and I too love to shoot in it. Thanks Ed.
