Shot with a Lomography Diana F+ on Lomography LCP film in 120 size. Shots taken on a photo trip with @alienmeatsack and myself in June of 2015. This is the post office from the television show, "Little House On The Prairie."
Double project with the incredible vici resulting from a little chat how we envy one another for the great street and motel signs (Vici) and the industrial architecture (moodification). So this is what happens when you mix these up ;-))
In the unlikely case you haven't seen her home, please go there immediately:

After the long travel, it feeled good to be in Nouna and I enjoyed the beautiful garden of the "Touba" guesthouse where we stayed to make some first shots with the Jupiter3+ lens mounted on my Canon P. I also took some shots of little Felix, the son of our tenants who was so sweet and always willing to be photographed. Later, we made a visit to the traditional district chief and I asked him his authorization to take pictures of the people of Nouna for my portraits project. He agreed for it and was willing to take the pose with his family for some portraits: the realisation of the project had started! :)

I had this project to shoot as many portraits as possible during my stay in Burkina Faso. The new Jupiter3+ lens was perfect for this project and mounted on the Canon P it gave me a great tool to realise it. To focus precisely at very close distance isn't always easy, specially at f1.5 to f2.8... For every portrait I tried to focus on the eyes of the people and saw on the results that the sharp focus was more on their ear.... that is around 8-10 cm difference. So I checked my Canon P and noticed that the rangefinder alignement wasn't perfect... This little distance plays no role when shooting at f5.6 or upwards, but at f1.5 to f2.8 and for under 1 meter distance it makes a difference. But even if some of the faces are a bit unsharp, the picture remains very soft and nice with a cool bokeh in the background. I finally fixed the alignement of the rangefinder and hope to get sharper pictures next time.
