“Direct Positive Paper” mit meiner 4x5 Kamera. Es wird das einzige “Direct-Positive-Foto“ hier bleiben. Ich habe mich entschlossen, die weiteren so entstandenen/noch entstehenden Fotos nicht zu digitalisieren. Es sind analoge Unikate und sollen es auch bleiben. :-)

Again, in the absence of some fresh stuff, I'm digging my relatively recent archives for those "underdogs" which I never posted out of God-knows what sort of dissatisfaction at the time when I was scanning it.
This place doesn't look like this any more, adding an emotional or nostalgic weight to the image. The bridge, the river and that neglected part of downtown were my source of inspiration whenever I didn't know at what to point my lens.
I was accompanied with a friend, also dedicated film photographer and seconds after I made that shot, some heavily stoned guy jumped in front of us, yelling - hey mr. TV, shoot me, look, meee... then insisted on buying us a drink in a bar just meters away, which we accepted because, I guess, we're both suckers for that crazy randomness and unexpected things that can happen to you... It felt like Tarantino and Jarmush ate some acid and then sat down to write a scene with two of us in a leading role... somewhat confused with all that, yet content cause we had a story to tell.
On a technical side this was made with Graflex, from a tripod and combined with Nikkor-W 5.6/135mm

This was a hard negative to work with. The sky was completely blown out in white because it was foggy that day. I did my best to burn it in & add some mood in the photo.
