Fishes of Mexico

Alex White got me a fish eye camera as a belated birthday present and underwater housing for it and it looks awesome. It's a 35mm camera with a hand rewinder and no flash and a viewfinder. Also i went to the MFA today and saw the Mexican photo exhibit there.
Edward Weston was the main photographer of the exhibition and he took a variety of photos. He had landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, and architecture. The prints were mainly on gelatin silver while a few were on platinum. Some of his photos were of the Aztec ruins and their temples, which gave a great sense of depth looking up at them. also the photos of the people showed the hope and dirt of the towns.

    Thats cool, i recently connected with some cousins of mine who are from Belgium, and one of them has a fish-eye lens and I used it to take a couple pics and they ended up looking good. I also like the underwater housing for it, those pictures will probably end up looking really good. I look forward to seeing some
