Description First of all, I apologize for the roughness of this picture. The neg is quite dusty, and I have already spent about 5 hours in Photoshop trying to remove the dustspots. I was in a hurry when I scanned this and had to use the flatbed at my school (which was full of dust!). So, sorry for all the dust, but I was anxious to post this. Now to describe a bit :

I took this at a Masaai Boma on the Masaai Steppe in Tanzania (a country in East Africa....I get too many people asking me where the heck Tanzania is...) using an old plastic camera called a Holga. They are infamous for their faults (light leaks). Each Holga is unique and has completely different faults resulting in completely different looking negatives. Personally, I find their faults charming and intriguing. I hope you do the same.

Film : 2 1/4 TMAX 100 | Camera : Holga 120

Oh yeah, and this is a rough draft, seeing as how the quality on the web isn't what I had hoped it would be
