Slussen
Some excellent medium format captures by Micke Borg. He tells me that he used a Yashica C. Micke makes me think of the 1950's and the studio of the local photographer where I used to hang around as a kid. He sometimes showed Chaplin films and he had these odd kameras with two eyes (TLR) twin-lense reflex.
Meeting him again some five years ago, I asked him if those cameras were Rolleis. "Oh no" he said, "they were much too expensive. I worked with a Yashica."
Well, I guess Mr Grant M. Heffernan is perfectly right when he says in a forum on photonet: "The quality doesn't have anything to do with the camera. Assuming it's functioning well, it's all on you. I've taken great photos with a $20 Holga, and horrid ones with my Mamiya 7."

Nice to see you here on 591. Good shots. I like the lady with the cigarette and the kid in the coffee shop, great!

btw you should really show some of your punk photos here!
Slussen (either outdoor or underground) is great place to meet people from all over the world. I think I've been hundreds of times hunting for photographs there ...
