Main Street

[Jeffrey]

This is Main Street in Bodie, CA, and yes, I made this image. Pentax 67, BW neg film.

Neat - that image almost has the historic look of the town itself. Fits the subject perfectly.

Very nice work here Jeffrey. The B&W definitely fits the look!

Nice work, the place still has a upkept look to it. I like the craftsmanship of the brick work.

Almost?! Then I guess I came close to my goal.

Exceedingly close in my books. The sky is too clean to be a perfect match

Edit: old B&W's always look like someone tossed the negative on the floor and stepped on it a few times. Please don't do that to yours.

I don't know, Alan that might be a useful technique with scenes like this one. Ansel put his prints in the microwave oven!

I don't think I could bring myself to do that

Seriously you absolutely nailed the processing on this.

That's very cool, and beautiful work, Jeffrey! It definitely has an old-time feel to me!

Very vintage and well done.
