A while back, I joined a site called Shoot36.com, which challenges photographers to use “One body, One lens, One roll…”
It took me long enough, but I finally managed to venture out with an old Pentax K1000, a 50mm lens, a useless light meter, and one roll of Tri-X. The weather cooperated, giving me a slightly overcast day that led to some good light to work with in black and white.
Working at BU, I occasionally get my hands wet with D-76 and fixer, and I truly enjoy the moments when I get to soup a roll of film in the labs.
Editing my selection, I was pleased and surprised to see how the six pictures I chose each had a conversation with one of the other images in the set.
The rules of the site discourage any work beyond the straight image, but for my site, I decided to add a little color effect to add another dimension to the presentation. Actually, the color work is a visual shout-out to hyper-color-grader Max Esposito. If you want to see the original submission, you can find it here.
