Light leaks and the medium format learning curve.

These 6 shots from my 3rd roll of 120 film on my Yashica Mat EM. My second roll was completely ruined (my fault). This roll was mostly ruined, because I didn't secure the end of the roll down after I took the roll out of the camera, and it got light leaks around the edges. While most of the roll is in pretty bad shape, I actually quite like a few of these, leaks and all. Live and learn, I guess. I really want to love shooting medium format, but it gets really expensive fast. :\
