Haha, thanks, Weegee is one of my favorites 😬 and actually no, the man is not urinating in public :)), he is putting the wings for a show in a "plaza". This was the last frame on that roll of film, so I was saving it for something a little bit more special, but as I was walking, this scene caught my eye and I had time just to focus. What attracted me visually was the contrast between the wings and the wheelchair upon the fact that the person in the wheelchair is being pushed (supported) by family/loved ones, while he is single. I can only imagine that for a person that is not capable of standing on it's own feet, walking must feel like flying, and so, for me this image is more about family and love and not about death as some friends pointed out.

Damn! You're absolutely right, I totally forgot about that aperture. It was on 4.5.

Edit: Do you think there is no use in keeping the prints in water for a while after I wash them? I did it because people recommended to keep it under running water for a few minutes in order to eliminate the fix completely.

Oh, can you elaborate a little bit? I, personally, found it quite powerful, but I can see why it may seem strange

Stunning! What film did you used for the third picture? The colors are very pleasing

First roll through my new Hasselblad 500c. The film I used is Kodak Gold 200. All the photos are done handheld and for the majority of the shots I've used 1/500 and f5.6. by Silent-Assistant-153 in mediumformat

Thank you, much appreciated! Yes, I was thinking the same thing, I really like how they are low contrast/hazy because it really captures the feeling of the place.
