Mamiya 7 II

Arles Graffiti Book

During my visit to the annual photography festival in Arles this year, I made a series of images documenting the well-hidden but diverse selection of graffiti in the town.

These photographs are now available in a book which can be purchased on my website: http://www.peterspurgeon.com/

I searched for Mamiya 7 II on flickr. This is a portable medium format camera, for which I have placed a bid on ebay. the search revealed images by wiiri whcih I really like:
