Hell's Kitchen
Mrs. Base10 dragged took Base10 to the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market before football last Sunday. Base10 took a few pictures while there.

As you can see, you can buy anything at the Hell's Kitchen flea market, even this frightful bear. I wonder how they got it to stand still on the chair like that?

Or you can buy this wagon wheel. I guess the bear ate the people that were in the wagon.

There are, of course, more traditional wares for sale like those depicted here. I wonder who left that stool there?

This woman seemed a little tired. Of course, maybe she just had her eyes closed because of the afternoon sun. I think this is a fascinating photo.

This is about a 100% crop. She just has a wonderful face in B&W.

Here's a 200% crop. How does she see out of those glasses?

This is another one of the stalls. It looks like this guy was selling furniture, but what is that giant blancmange-like thing in the center left of the picture? Is this guy trying to win at Wimbledon?

This guy saw my fancy camera as I walked by and practically begged me to take his photo. Base10 was happy to oblige.

Here's a closeup of this guy. This may sound like a silly thing to say, but black people--especially light-skinned blacks--take wonderful portraits in B&W.

Well, that's it for now. All photos were taken with the Mamiya 7II using Fuji Arcos 100 and scanned with the Epson 4990. I'm pretty impressed with the Fuji film. I have to try the 400 speed version.
