Pentax 645n, 75mm, Delta 400 @ 250 in Xtol 1+2. Epson 4870 Scanner. This is a shot from a roll of film that sat undeveloped for 3 years. Although heavily fogged it's images are still wonderful. Photoshop allowed me to work around the fogging; 8 1/2 x 11's off my Epson 870 Printer are very good, whereas I think I'd have a very difficult time working with these in a conventional darkroom.

These are two of the warmest, most wonderful people in the world -- it's truly a privilege to know them.

Both ladies are regally dressed in their "Ladies Traditional Dancers" regalia; Most of which they have made themselves.

Vancouver's Cedar Cottage Pow Wow is always held on Mothersday and thats a wonderful day to Pow Wow as you're sure to meet several ladies like these; My two friends, Rita & Victoria.

I think I would have rated this photo higher if it were in color. My reason is that the dress of the two women would seem to be very colorful and richly textured. I want to see the colors and the textures. The sepia tone limits this, I think. Still and all, it is a GOOD photo!

I would like a bit more defined background light. and maybe a side light or something....It's like half studio, half cloudy day......I think your photoshop work shows. You appear to have burned the background a lot. and dodged them..They have potential though. Shame your film was fogged.

Although I agree that it may look better in colour technically, I like this a lot, it feels good after seeing the shot ...
