[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Don, This collection is a very good idea, your pictures are excellent, I prefer the first and the second ones, it seems you have used a medium format camera, the gradation and quality of the grey tones is very rich. Let me know please if you have used a film scanner, I'm reading reviews for Nikon V ED and Minolta Digiscan 5400 Elite II, on a local store said me that Nikon is better for B&W because it has more maximum density....

Not far from my house is a small neighborhood of homes built probably in the late forties that is scheduled to be demolished for a high rise condominium. What used to be middle to upper middle class housing has had the valuable moldings, mantels, and bath fixtures removed and holes punched into the walls to discourage the homeless from moving in. Below is the beginning of my record keeping of these homes. First up is a wide view of a bedroom almost as if a storm warning had caused the owners to flee, leaving their possessions behind them: http://gallery.leica-users.org/Urban-Renewal/happybirthdayroom This is a closer view, the web will probably not show the wrapping paper proclaiming "Happy Birthday" http://gallery.leica-users.org/Urban-Renewal/happybirthdaycloser For some reason, I find this image of ivy growing into the room very engaging: http://gallery.leica-users.org/Urban-Renewal/windowintojungle Likewise, a mostly normal room with the wild taking over almost like a doomsday SCIFI novel: http://gallery.leica-users.org/Urban-Renewal/triffidbathroom Comments, brickbats, derision, or your poor tired unexposed film all cheerfully accepted.
