    Plotting and scheming

    Taken about a year ago in Chinatown here in Toronto. A Photobud and I were looking down into a below-ground courtyard at a large Mall when we spotted a group of men watching a game of Xiangqi an Oriental version of Chess, being played.
    And liking the composition and unusual point of view, grabbed this shot.

    Graham,
    Silly Goose!
    Your not supposed to take the film out and look at it.
    To see the pictures, leave the film in the camera, but open the back door, hold the back of the camera up to a light source and look in through front of the lens. Then you'll see the pictures.
    Buy another roll and try it again.

    Oy Graham!
    No..... The focus ring doubles as the volume control. Obviously a while since you've used a film camera.

    Hold the camera upside down and then your nose will be out of the way.
    Must I teach you everything?
