Bill,
A beautiful shot.
There is, indeed, something special about the black and white medium that colour cannot capture.

I like this picture, Bill, and as Mickey said black and white suits it perfectly. I much prefer that type of place to a modern plastic and chrome affair. When I first saw it though I thought for one incredulous split second that they'd got eine Abbildung des Führer hanging on the stairs!  PeterW |

Wonderful shot Bill. Peter, that did look like Das Shoe Clerk to me also at first.

Very moody, this one Bill. No - on the whole I think you got it too dark. I know - I'm a Philistine!
When I'm about 75 I intend to go and see my sister in Hamilton. I'm going to make a point of visiting Balzacs!

John,
Give me a heads up when you are in Canada, I'll round up Gene (Harbourlight) and we'll do a Balzac's run.
I think the scan makes the print darker slightly.

Just as long as we don't have to photograph that bloody truck...... !!

Give me a heads up when you are in Canada, I'll round up Gene (Harbourlight) and we'll do a Balzac's run. Indeed, we'll treat you to a delicious Balzac's cuppa (they roast their own beans onsite) and then to a fine pint of microbrew in one of the adjacent pubs. Nice picture, Bill. It looks like it was shot some 40 years ago. Gene |

Gene,
Actually it was shot last fall the same day as a Rangefinder Forum Meet Up.
John,
Don't worry we won't make you take a picture of the truck (even though its around the corner).

Very nice, indeed! If it weren't for the modern clothing, that could have been taken 100 years - or more - ago. It just has that feel to it.

I like the shot, too, but agree it seems dark.......but that's probably my monitor here at work. It's not calibrated for anything but Powerpoint presentations and Excel spreadsheets! LOL!! ;D I'll look again when I get home, and see how it looks on that monitor!  |

John, if you meet those guys you have to take a picture of the truck, it's a prerequisite to getting back out of the country. ;D
