The Office of International Programs at Duquesne University, where I'm currently working on my masters degree, just had a photo contest and I won first prize with this one. I'm not sure if I get anything besides bragging rights but what the heck, maybe it'll look good on my resume! http://www.robertstech.com/peso.htm Notes: 1. Luddites rejoice! This was shot on FILM! (Pentax 645, Ilford HP5+) 2. I really do like the sepia toning, but the main reason I did it at the time was so I could print it at home: I haven't yet mastered the art of getting neutral monochrome reproduction out of my Epson 2200 and I hoped that the sepia tone would hide any slight color cast. It worked - the print looks great! 3. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the entries in the contest. Yes, there were a lot of "vacation snapshots" and a few really nice photos that were obviously the kind of lucky grab that we all got from time to time before we started doing photography "seriously", but there were several that were clearly the work of talented people. The one I thought should have won was by someone who did "people photos" of locals in various parts of the Caribbean. He or she had a knack for composition, a talent for getting people to be at ease when he photographed them and a natural eye for good light. Wish this stuff was on line so everyone could see it. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
