OK, so now I'm playing with photoshop! I did like the result of doing this from a color image. I chose the green channel, and brightened it a bit. I might make a digital negative from this, and perhaps try making a paper negative from that. Then who knows what the result may be? I was inspired by a young photographer in Edmonton, Jonathan Luckhurst, who was part of a show starting last Thursday night. The show is called Fading Lives, shown at the Louie Gallery. All of Jonathan's images are very impressionistic, and have an ethereal quality to them. He shoots with a pin hole camera to help get that effect. His web site is: http://www.jonathanluckhurst.com/portfolio.html. Of course, my image does not come near the quality and atmosphere that his possess. I admire his work very much.
