Build a Kit, Alspach

JOUR370 Build a Kit

 I’m looking for camera materials that can support my goals as a street photographer. I want to be able to capture a variety of angles in a variety of perspectives, and the materials I’ve chosen will help me do so. Also, I wanted to get a Rolleiflex as inspired by Vivian Maier, since the pictures she was able to capture seemed more interpersonal. I chose a variety of lenses, some subtle and some not, just to get a versatility of options. I chose a subtle backpack that can also carry a laptop for instant photo transferring and a monopod for overall shots. A lot of my costs were for film developing materials, which will help me with the Rolleiflex.
