I haven't gone out and photographed much personal work since returning from Europe a month ago with one less appendix. Couple the appendectomy recovery with a bit of "nesting syndrome" (my wife is about to give birth to our first child any day now), I've spent most of my time organizing my home and streamlining my Lightroom catalogue (guided by Gavin Gough via his great eBook w/video tutorials - A Photographers Workflow (http://www.gavingough.com/photo- workflow/)).

Whilst keywording my library, I came across some images I took last October in Goa. To break the metadata monotony, I decided to see what a few images would look like using VSCO (https://visualsupply.co/film) Film O4, Visual Supply Company's new slide film preset pack. I've always loved the vivid colors and contrasty pop that slide film generates. Sometimes it is a bit much for some tastes. There is also B&W represented with Agfa Scala 200. Below are a few samples from some of the different presets. Let me know what you think.
