So, yeah, I did sing some lines from the Mark Barkan song made famous by Manfred Mann, "Pretty Flamingo", when I first saw this and then snapped a photo of it.

The aperture on this particular Lomography Diana F+ (I have a few of their branded ones along with a couple of the OG 1960's ones due to rescuing them when I find in the wild) tends to slip so the exposure is a bit dimmer than anticipated (because of not double-checking where it was set before I clicked the shutter.)
I kinda dig the muted tone on it though. I credit the Kodak Ektar 100 for that aspect of it.
A view of the world from a street in Raleigh, North Carolina. A city that has me scrimping, saving and downsizing for so I can move to it in the spring of 2020.

This weekend marks the last one of summer for the year. I live within walking distance of one of the Great Lakes. I only ever made it to the beach maybe two times this year. The lack of visits wasn't by choice. Life just commanded things that way.

Yeah, because if I see any pink flamingo, be it a real one, a plastic one or even one made of metal I'm gonna blurt out at least one line from the film.

Summer blooms and slight light leaks. In a world that can be hectic, sparing a moment to give the former a whiff can be seconds of bliss. The latter happens for a myriad of reasons older film camera.

Their breakfast at this place was one of the legendary cheap "hangover cures" in the area. That was ages ago as the place has been long gone for a while now. How was the rest of their food? I never knew but figured there was more than just one reason why it was always (semi-lovingly) referred to as the El Rauncho.

A song about finding a number written on a bathroom wall. Oh, there's many of them. You can hum your favorite one of the sort if you wish while looking at this Film Photo Friday choice.

Big money condo development in a low paying town. Give the illusion that the city is "coming back" though more people keep moving out the area than moving in.
They've been working on these "luxurious waterfront residences overlooking the St. Clair River with spectacular views of Lake Huron" for well over a year now. I took this photo about two weeks ago.
