The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: Tri-X

Cropped, lightly edited, and converted to B&W using the Picmonkey Tri-X option. The previous version of Picmonkey remains available on ipernity but it will eventually be removed. The new version, which is safer from a computer security viewpoint, will not be freely available to ipernity members and I shall miss some of its features. It is to my mind surprisingly expensive to buy on a subscription, and so it is unlikely I shall use it when the free access ends.

People buying fruit and vegetables in the open air, in circumstances where they can reach in and explore the texture and rub the soil remaining on the surface, are doing something pretty primal. There is a dichotomy between what they are doing now and what they did an hour or two previously when they put on designer clothes and elevated sunglasses above their forehead. Metaphorically - and for real - they are returning to their roots. Converted from colour with a Tri-X filter simulation. Tri-X provides a rich, grainy texture and tonal response to certain colours such as skin tones.
