The pictures i take.. .most on streets will be looked from people in 50 years or more to see, how the world and streets look like these days. The same
as i look on pictures from Garry Winogrand or old pictures from 1920-1950. Every single picture is tell me his own story of moment.

Sure, modern cell phones take good quality pictures, but most of this pictures get lost in cloud and will never be shown up. 
Printet pictures in a photobook will live for a long time.

This looks really unique and rare :) It would be fun shooting this these days. I love to use old cameras.
