The Monkey Busker & the Olympus XA
Long ago, during my analogue shooting days I always used to
carry an Olympus XA camera in my pocket (which is still my favorite mini
camera). It could shoot in auto mode & I could have total manual control
over it including focus, aperture, ISO. Even the flash was detachable. It was
the most advanced pocket 35mm camera of its time & affordable too. I so
fell in love with it that I bought a backup camera too.
Coming to the point this image was taken with this camera
while this Monkey Busker was having his afternoon siesta & his companions
too were in a lazy mood.
Hope you like it…
Cheers
