Venice, CA 2020

It doesn't get better than this. Beautiful, sunny Venice, CA.

Most photos taken with the FUJI X-E3 and the 27mm f2.8 pancake lens—one of my favorite combinations for street photography. Some were taken with the default ACROS Film Simulation. Others were taken with a custom, higher contrast version of ACROS.
