Description

This photo was the first of many I would take with T-Max 3200, rated 3200. I have always been hesitant to use such a grainy film, but I loved the results. I used a very diluted devloping solution and achieved a good quality of grey tones (normally the film is so contrasty). I saw this woman sitting on her porch on a hot day, with a fan in one hand and a fly swatter in the other- I had to stop. She let me take her pic and told me some intereasting tales about growing up in the southern part of Arkansas.

This is awesome! Exceptional framing, as though she was being caught unaware. It's photojournalism at it's best. Wish we had that category. Excellent work. #336619

Thanks so much for the comment- I was assigned to incorporate a 4x4" box into my photos and was completely unsure as to what I should do. I'm glad the message got across ;-) #2031846
