Frameless: Grotto

For some inexplicable reason, ancient theatres compel me to go for wild contrast. Why would they do that??

About this blog

PHOTOGRAPHS are hastily scanned (when not digital) and poorly home-developed (when not by a professional) , very rarely cropped and never ever processed, and generally unblemished by anything that could make them, well, better.

THE ABOVE STATEMENT is a lie, or rather has been a lie since March 2010. I tweak levels, lightness and contrast regularly (I even used a mask once), I often crop, and I've tried colorizing a couple of photos. I use GIMP 2.6.

DATES are semi-random, give or take a couple of years or more.

LOCATIONS are approximately accurate. Usually.

TITLES are not necessarily relevant.

CAPTIONS are most certainly irrelevant.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION is sometimes wildly inaccurate. Labels include films which do not even exist. I think.

TECHNOBABBLE explains recent - digital - endeavours, from the point of view of a person who knows a couple of things about film photography and 35mm cameras but fuck all about digital anything. Don't expect insightful comments on technology, expect a novice's enthusiasm - or dismay - upon learning stuff everybody else already knows.
