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.
"

A wonderfully appealing and cold set of photos. Like living underground.

Great shots!
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 ...
