Beach-rock wall

Beach-rock wall
Back in early 1990, I was a little obsessed by the task of documenting
as many of the beach-rock (and river-rock) walls I could find in this
city. I eventually wrote a report that pointed out three separate
traditions of construction and aesthetics. This was one of the most
ornate walls and, at about sixty years of age at the time, it was
holding up pretty well. In fact, nearly thirty years later, it's still
in pretty good shape.

This was taken on a very good film of the time, Agfa 100, sold as Scot
100TI; I liked it at the time because it was a low-saturation,
long-dynamic-range, unlike all the popular films by Kodak and Fuji at
the time which boasted "high saturation" which translated for me into
short dynamic range. I was sorry when I could no longer buy the Agfa
film.

I am scanning my old negatives and I am finally at January 1990; I
scanned this one this evening. The conversion to b&w was in Paint Shop
Pro.
