Beach-rock wall

06 Mar 2018 1 79
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.
