Opening day at the 2007 NC State Fair right before sunset. My first roll of film in a long, long time! Using an expired roll of Fuji Superia film on a new Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim camera (purchased recently from the UK). This is a completely mechanical plastic camera with a really wide 22mm lens (hence the fat finger in the right side of the frame). A lot of fun after shooting digital for so long!
