Fujifilm Monochrome simulation "Paul Ickovic"

I dedicated a Fujifilm Monochrome simulation to my good friend and colleague Paul Ickovic who passed away while in Prague on May 23rd 2023. https://www.paulickovic.photography/

Thanks, Paul, for all the kind words, good laughs, friendly advice, life lessons, and fabulous tips. I will miss you. ! R.I.P.
