Happy New Year all you tooters and folk! I've decided to start a new photo thread for the New Year, even though I'm part way through a roll, and nowhere near up to date (early November, in fact). The simple premise is, at least one photo for every roll of film (not necessarily every day). The old thread ended at https://photog.social/@carusb/111673872637618164

News and tobacco kiosk in Sofia, Bulgaria, early 1970. Taken with my 1 with (not Plus) film; no meter (I used the metering hints inside film boxes in those days, essentially Sunny 16).

I worked in Sofia for 4 months at that time, so plenty of time to get to know the communist world a little. The adventures there are described in a series of blog posts starting at https://unsustainableideas.wordpress.com/2020/07/08/my-life-in-computers-5a-icl-system-4-and-bulgaria/ .



Black and white photo, taken in bright sunshine in winter on what is obviously a cold day, showing a "PressPoint" (name in Cyrillic text) selling postcards, newspapers, cigarettes etc. There are several people, all in heavy coats; one woman wears a head scarf. Two telephone boxes on the right of the picture are in use and a woman is waiting her turn.
