Details, MacDonald's Hundred Faces

Details, MacDonald's Hundred Faces
I got my "new" Robot Royal camera just a day or two before Morgan
MacDonald's WW1-commemorative piece One Hundred Faces was unveiled in
Victoria Park here in St John's. So I took advantage of having a new-to-me
camera to take a few pictures. MacDonald's piece is spell-binding work -- he made masks from the faces of a hundred people who were descendants of soldiers who fought in the Newfoundland Regiment in World War One. This is not a big town, so many people walking past this sculpture know one, or a few, of the people who were models. I know several. That brings the reality of the war, a hundred years later, right there.

These three adjacent negatives were shot in early November 2018 on 2001-expired Fuji Superia 200 film, in my Robot Royal, a square-framed 35mm rangefinder camera.
