Again, my apologies for no response. I only saw this today. Background? Didn't do anything. These are all straight scans from the negatives. In this portfolio, the scans were all drum scans done professionally. I only wish I could have such great scans done all the time. No other post processing. You may be looking at the heat&dust in the ambient air. It was about 4 p.m., so the light was just beginning to get nice. This is a spirit dancer, Miss Silver Wings (in translation), just prior to his performance at a nearby shrine.

Sorry for slow response. I actually didn't know to look for comments on the photos. I'm a bit of a newby in portfolio mgmt.

This photo was fun. The second after I snapped the shutter, we all scattered. That cart was barreling down on us at top speed. The kids had been following me for hours, and wouldn't let me photograph them. But, for some curious reason, after they watched me change film, they stood and looked at me as I snapped this one shot. It's image "00" on my film role.

The UNESCO exhibition is a quasi-permanent installation. There are actually 25 images, most at 3X4 foot, in the lobby. They've been up quite a while now. I just got lucky that they were renovating the building when I showed a large photo album to the Regional Director...
