A Glimpse of Qingxi: Ricoh GR II in Positive Film

Introduction

Wandering through Qingxi on June 19, 2025, my Ricoh GR II set to "Positive Film," I aimed to capture the town's vibe. I honed in on the small stuff: the way a car's lights caught the morning sky, the green of a plant hinting at the local farming, and all those tangled wires. I snapped photos of everything from garden gourds to a red car zipping by, and even a peaceful canal. There was a bright banner by a fence, and then I got some shots of wild shrubs and grass. A red fire extinguisher totally popped against a plain wall! I also found some cool palm trees near an apartment building and a doorway with awesome wood textures. For a bit of fun, I snagged pics of a goofy red character with a snout and a cool red logo. To wrap it up, I shot some vibrant red chili peppers and a red painted pipe. Every click felt like I was collecting a little piece of Qingxi's story.
