Unlike a modern point and shoot or Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras, the Graflex is only limited to 20 pictures. So Paul has to be very careful about the kind of shot he wants to take. His inspiration to take such vintage shots came from the time that he picked up a 1969 magazine which depicted that year’s Indy 500.

The magazine has its own Instagram page as well. Here is the link: https://www.instagram.com/lollipopmagazine/
