M43 Projekt: The photo you don’t expect from me

Yesterday I made this one:

Night. Mexico City, 2023. Alex Coghe

Olympus Pen E-PL2 can give great results.

This camera was released in January 2011. This fact makes it a difficult camera for those who are used to today's performances and yet its very defects can prove to be a great resource for those like me who are constantly in search of the emotional photo.

A photo camera that often forgets to focus is not recommended for those who always want everything to be perfect and reliable, or for those who are unable to deal with frustration.

At night then the possibility of really shitty shots increases, but that's when I decided to switch to black and white and test the camera and I'm hooked. This is why I couldn’t resist and sharing this photograph. It is noisy…no, better, it is grainy, I mean…a lot grainy. It is like film photography, guys. It is the photo you don’t expect from me. It is…just…perfect.
