Today's technology is marvelous! I DO miss the acrid smells of my darkroom, which I occasionally visit, although I don't use film any more. Technology does have drawbacks, for example SHARPENING! However, I love the ease with which I can look at an image so many different ways with the click of a Photoshop filter or a plugin. When I saw this magnificent architectural detail, I was driving on the Upper West side of Manhattan. I quickly pulled into a parking spot (serendipitous!) and took some photos of the entire building: zeroing in on several wonderful details. I kept thinking about the image throughout the day. Later, when I downloaded the photos into my computer, I played around with several images of the building until I got the composition I wanted. Selecting my favorites, I still couldn't decide whether the final photographs should be B&W or sepia. With technology, I don't have to make a choice. I have one master Photoshop image with both options. A beautiful architectural detail two ways. The possibilities are limitless, only bound by my imagination!
