This is another part of the apartments my old flat used to look over. Truly a beautiful piece of 1970s urban architecture. Again shot on that old roll of 1600 trannie and scanned. You couldn't ask for a better washed out 1970s slide look if you asked - and you don't even need photoshop!Tuesday, 21 March 2006

yeah well that's the difference between a shot at 5.30pm and one at 8pm - nasty overexposure. makes up for my nasty underexposure of phoenix foundation though.
I may be biased being a child of 70's appartments but I find this to be an image of beauty. It's like you've layered past and present with the almost holographic look. I shall keep my eye out for the old film scavenging...
thanks anonymous. just call me a clever bastard i guess.
and if you may permit me to go into rant mode for a bit ... this is what i like about film photography. my knowledge is such that i have a reasonable idea of what the result is going to look like, but sometimes there are really nice surprises (like this roll of film) and some disappointments (like this roll of film), but there's still that excitement about not knowing exactly what you're going to get when you get the film back. that's one thing digital has taken away. i'm sure i could play on photoshop long enough to reproduce a result with the same 'look' but why bother when you can do it on film - albeit without knowing how, and in such a way that it's probably not repeatable. that's why i'm always going to be a film man, so long as someone keeps making it - thanks agfa!!!!
