Faces of DTLA

I found this old Mamiya 35mm camera of my mothers years ago, and have used it relentlessly ever since for projects on the side. I love the 50mm lens on it, and even though it's just regular ol' Kodak film, there's something to be said about the rawness and grain. I asked each person if they'd mind having their photograph taken, and often I got a no. I would probably say no myself. But these people volunteered a moment of their lives to be beamed through my aperture and into another realm. Some people swear that light leaks are actually freak glimpses of a person's ascension spiral towards nirvana. Who knows? Either way, thanks for your time beautiful people. Be well.
