Tyldesley. Pentax MX, SMC Pentax 24mm f2.8 lens, Tri-X in FX-39. Printed in register with photocopy of 1911 image of the same street. We can't see the other image, but it left a spooky smear to the dark building on the right.

That said I had to wait until there was no queue! And I know it looks like it slopes but it doesn't really the road does.

Campo di Fiore market (just round the corner from me) taken this morning. There has been a market on this site since Roman times.
SMC F 50 1.4 1/180 5.6 200ASA


Very hard to choose what to enter this week - I have lots of 'picture postcard' shots of Rome, and some nice B&W street scenes, but I decided the Campo was the thing to shoot, as it is so local and full of characters. Background is a bit busy I know but there is no way of avoiding that (I did try - and cropped as far as I could go!)
