I didn’t know any of my stuff had made the Flickr Explore page.
Chuffed, indeed.
I’ll take this as an admonishment to shoot more B&W, since no color stuff has been considered notable.
And to make matters more interesting, the one on the left was taken with a wooden box with a brass hole in one end — much like this one, by the same maker — and the other on a $20 piece of mass-produced Chinese junk. Draw from that what you will.
