in a town about 50km north of Damascus, I found an old camera store.

there weren’t many monies in my pocket, but I wanted a 35mm back-up,

[for Africa, ha ha - ugh]

so I bought one of his cheaper models.

turned out it was a yashica electro 35 rangefinder,

apparently a very good old camera.

nice – I paid $15 for it.

obviously, I didn’t know how to work it,

but kind of like the first set of shots that it produced.

this is the 3rd entry about photographs.

hmmm.
