Going My Way?
Uploaded: March 08, 2005
aperture f5.6, shutter 1/30; I saw this young man motioning for everyone to come see this amazing artwork. He looked like he was going into a tunnel of chickens. I used BW film, printed on matte paper(darkroom) and hand colored the young man.

Incredible illusion. He does look like he is starting a tour of a huge chicken coop. Excellent work, Vicki!! #222626Cindy Paquette March 08, 2005

Fascinating image, Vicki. Congrats on your POTD. I, too, would like to know more about how it was edited. #1223203Vicki Hunt April 02, 2005
This is a simple BW film image, printed in the darkroom, and the young man, my son, is hand colored with photo oils...this is an old technique used before color film hit the scene...I taught classes in this for awhile. I am afraid it is becoming a lost art with the digital revolution! #1223209Vicki Hunt April 02, 2005
Oh my goodness! I just figured out why you all have visited my photo! I kept wondering...what is POTD....Thank you so much BP for this honor! I have to be out of town for the weekend, so wanted to say how much I appreciate this! vicki #1223241Casey A. Hanson April 02, 2005
