The Artifact

It's garbage day here at home. When the trash-truck comes around, small pieces of trash occasionally fall out.

I found this thoroughly flatten little artifact near my drive way. So, I had to grab my ProPack loaded with type 664 out of my car and take a shot at it. Something about it felt particularly absurd, yet satisfying.



I don't know what model this is. And I'm fairly sure it's not a recent one. But is this what we've come to? Is this really progress?*

*Please excuse the soapbox..

Minolta X-570 test shots

My Minolta X-570 has a faulty shutter that's prone to sticking and only exposing about a 3rd of the frame. It's now no longer functional.
