My WPPD submission, taken on 28 April 2019.
It was cold, rainy, and windy here in southern NY. Braving the elements, I drove the wife and cameras up to Poughkeepsie and we did the Walkway across the Hudson -- a converted old railroad bridge. I took a roll and a half of completely forgettable images on 120 film but then we decided that we were already wet so we would continue south, down Haviland road on the New Jersey side to the Mid-Hudson Bridge, walk across to the NY side, and then go back through Poughkeepsie to our car. Well we were pretty soaked by the end, but along the way I saw the phalanx of billboards right and perfect road name so that was good. Then the flowers somewhere in midst of Poughkeepsie too. Good day, despite Mother Nature's hostility.

Both images made with an Agfa Clack that has been converted to a pinhole. I used a commercial laser drilled pinhole (0.34mm) for this conversion. With roughly a 67-68mm focal length, that puts the camera at f/194. I really like the curved film plane in th Clack; it does a great job of keeping a more even exposure. The Clack is fairly compact too, which is another bonus. It also has a super-smooth film advance. I'm quite pleased with this camera and this may become a regular user.
Both images on Fuji Acros (8 second exposure), souped in HC-110 (1+31) for 7:30 at 18C. Scanned on a crappy Epson flatbed.
