This is a 30 year old photo of Mary with a fire hydrant in the foreground - my two favorite subjects. How can it get any better than this?
Taken with my old OM-1N back in 1983, probably on Kodak Tri-X, while strolling through the New Orleans French Quarter.
I scanned it on my HP flatbed scanner, tagged it in Picasa, uploaded it to Flickr, and shared it on Blogger.

The one thing that always bothered me about this picture is that when it was shot I obviously was paying more attention to the fire hydrant than Mary and I turned the camera so that the hydrant was more vertical. The truth is that the hydrant was not vertical at all and in so doing Mary and the building ended up at an angle.
Now 30 years later I can finally fix that in Picasa (see below). Ain't technology great!
Love black and white. It is a piece of art John.

DeleteThanks, just goes to show that even I can be a bit creative at times, especially when I have a fire hydrant and a beautiful woman in front of my camera.
ReplyDeletelove it! needs to be put in a frame and hung up somewhere!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm working on that, and more photo albums too but it may just have to hang out in the e-album for now.
