This shot was taken last spring on a deserted farm near Vegreville, Alberta. It was taken with my Leica M7, a 35 mm camera, using Ilford HP5+ film. I really like the effect that film grain has on this shot. It just seems to add an extra dimension to the image that would not be possible with digital. I also lie the sinister feeling that the shed imparts.
The grain is not evident on my monitor, but I trust it is obvious in the print. "Sinister" is not the feeling I get in viewing this image. The emotions I feel are more along the lines of resignation. This old shed is giving in to time and to gravity and slowly dying. Still love the image though!!
