35mm Street Photography with the Contax T2

After purchasing the Contax T2, I went out to Dallas and loaded my new film camera with some Portra 400 to to put the Contax T2 through it's paces. With this being one of my first 35mm film photography experiences I was excited to share it my first impressions with the Contax T2 in a street photography situation. It did not disappoint.
After gaining popularity over the past 5 years or so I have been debating grabbing a 35mm Contax camera, and after some time waiting I decided it was time to get a 35mm film camera with all my time spent with medium format film. I wanted to start my 35mm journey with a pretty simple point and shoot camera and decided to grab the Contax T2 off of eBay. This first experience with the camera was great. Walking through Klyde Warren Park in Downtown Dallas and capturing people enjoying their day was something I found so much easier to do holding this camera. At the end of the day you hope that the camera you hold is one that inspires you to shoot more often, and so far this camera has allowed me to do so. Excited to show you more photos very soon.
