You had me going for a moment when I read Fujifilm X t2 as my attention fell on the word film, thinking you decided to go the traditional way until I realized that it is a mirrorless digital camera of whom you are obviously a good ambassador.
The first photo and red riding hood’s shoes is most textured to my taste Jane
