Twin Towers Nostalgic Scans

Local Scenes

As seen from New Jersey. Here is a watercolor style treatment of my own dusk photo from the 90’s.

Not many skylines were as recognizable as New York’s with those twin towers, simply unmistakable.

I have a few more scenes from this side of Manhattan, and a few from the other side, mostly dusk. Some of them are medium format, and some are 4×5 inch. This was back when I shot a lot of 4×5 inch film.

I mostly used Kodak Ektachrome, and Fuji Velvia or Provia.

Photoshop Sample

Retouching

If you have old photos that mean a lot to you, but could be helped along due to damage or some other technical flaw, I may be able to help. Here is a sample of some scanning and reconstruction I did of a 3inch x 3 inch print.
The digital version of  the photo I received from the client was tiny:

 

So I asked for the  print to make my own scan and got this:

Evidence of a slow shutter and some camera shake… but I spent some time with photoshop and was able to make this:
Still a bit soft, but better, I think. at some points it was really more about hand painting

Coyote

Local Scenes

I almost missed this chance. I was driving away from a shoot and happened to glance left at a clearing in the trees and what do I see?
This graceful beast just standing there like it owned the place… which we know it does.
I was treated to many poses, and even a brief sit-down, but I guess I overstayed my welcome and in a few minutes the show was over and the coyote slipped into the autumn background.
What a beautiful creature.

Also see an interesting post on coyotes on the Strathcona Community League site.
