A Mannequins masquerade


                     Street Dreams get me

   to the places I want to be

 

                                              Floating. Drifiting.

            near infinity


Yashica 635

It was left without instruction.

in a yellow plastic Nikon bag equipped with a double format yashica 635 camera, a roll of 120 film, and 3 small leathery cases.

1 labeled "wide"  

1 labeled  "tele" 

And the other more cyclindrical case was unmarked.

I unzipped the labeled cases one after the other.

each case revealed a small lens nestled above a larger lens  

 

Attachments! Brilliant! 

 

Excitement fills my entire being as I fantasize over our future journeys together,

 

you take me away to a dreamlike place

that has been kissed by your stories of an unknown past.........

 


Aimlessly walking the streets of south philly

 

the black and silver camera body leads the way.  

 

the heavy and technical antique  

 

seeks timeless compositions in every store  

to every door.

 

dials turn. 

reflections sharpen  

 

click! 

 

the shutter releases!  

 

fusing light, film, and technology into one.
