That looks like 3 pairs of people interacting.
The first pair are having a deep conversation. Flower 2 looks thoughtful.
The second pair looks like a parent and child. Flower 4 seems to be saying “What do you mean, I can’t go?”. Flower 3 looks stern!
The last pair need no explanation - get a room guys!

We travelled Europe in 2018, and while in Milan I sought out the local camera store, New Old Camera, where I found a wonderful 503CXi. I ended up buying this along with an equally nice CF120 Planar. I already had film as I had taken with me my SWC. These two are from the first roll. One of my better buys, very happy, except my shoulders from carrying these two (and other gear) for the 6 weeks.Euro-2018_503CXi_MotorBikes.jpgEuro-2018_503CXi_Bikes_Milan.jpg

To show how involved I got carrying two Hasselblad bodies on our Europe trip, we walked onto this artist at work, near the Pantheon. Both with Portra 400 (I can't recall, but may have simply swapped the one A-12 across), one shot with the SWC and the other with the 503CXi and CF120.
Do it all again? not so sure, one thing's for sure, airports are more difficult to navigate now with film. But looking back at these (taken 2018) I get the urge to at least give it a go.

In my younger years I worked for an aerial survey company, in the darkroom initially, but also in the aircraft (as the photographer and also as the pilot, not at the same time though!). The company had a Hasselblad EL/M and CF80 Planar for "oblique" shots (farms etc), and they also had quite a bit of High Speed I/R film. I used some of this for some walk-about I/R shots. These two would date from the early 90's.
