Description
Location: Albuquerque, New MexicoGear: Canon EOS 1-DS - Canon 28-200mm
A smoka', a drinka', a cat-lover and most importantly a workhorse. - Let me introduce, Mr. Swanson.
I know, he looks like he came off the street but, he's good friends with my mother. Irregularly, he comes and over and does some house-labor and puts his nose to the grindstone for a few hours.
Nice guy - he's humorous too.
Post-Processing:
Black and White Conversion - Slight Color Balance - Contrast adjustments - Dodge/Burn - Lot of work in Curves -Sharpening.
After I captured a few frames:
"That thing digital or film?" I replied, "Digital man."
"Shit, I was pullin' out rolls of film back than. My brother said it's all digital now."
"Remember, If this thing makes the magazines, I'm gettin' the money."
I giggled and told him thanks.
