From the archive. I don't know care about the blog or internet in viewing this photo much but this photo looks great on print. I enlarged it for a friend's coffee shop which is now sadly closed. Another thing pandemic taken away.

Very common thing to photograph when you are traveling or on the streets with BW film in your camera.

Sometimes I see something that has a story and take a photo of it. I call it wasting film some call it street photography and others call it art. Why do I call it wasting film? There is a story behind this shoes and how they got dirty, the story of the person wearing them, the story of how they get here, but in the medium of street photography it's just one or two photo snapped and move on the next one. Entire photoshoot or documentary project is not happening. We are just left out with our imagination.

I was moving files around and making them make more sense in my hard drives and came across this shoot. I noticed that, the scans were very very very large in file size and colour was very off. I can see that I just wanted to scan them highest resolution as possible but pay little attention to colour. So I decided to scan them again in 3200DPI and focus bit more on the colour. I don't know where the colours went off but rescans colour was off too. Still it was more salvageble when compared to the originals. I think it was either the Colour of the flash used in the shoot or the chemistry accuracy in the Lab was off. I managed to get the colours to where I want them in this photo.
Final image of the edit I done in last post. Gotta say I love Kodak Portra 800, favourite colour film, only downside is hard to find and more expensive than others.

After I edited the images for the client, I started to edit some for my Print Portfolio however during the time I was editing them I deiced to do update my Mac, and somehow my desktop without my approval, decided to sync to apple cloud which is just dumb because there is not enough space to cover all the PSB and TIFF files I was keeping on my Desktop. The automation decided to remove the files that can't be placed in cloud and place in the cloud that doesn't have space, so in less than a minute all the photos were gone, not in desk top not in cloud, there were just empty folders in the could server. Fast forward to 2024 Latest cloud update, I found a way to recover the photos and I still don't know how I did it. Since 2019 pandemic happened I got hit by pickup truck bought a Flat etc... another reason for blog post which I'll be actually writing.
