Description
Subject: Nicole Plesha, Michael Jackson impersonator
Taken: Jackson Street, San Francisco
Developed at: McClatchy Highschool Dark room, late May 2006

Walking down the streets of San Francisco, my best friend and I spotted this street sign. Oh the irony! She happened to be in costume, too, so I rushed her over to the sign to get a photo.

I was hurrying to get this turned in as an assignment and didn't make a test strip, so I left it under the light of the enlarger for a couple seconds too long. As dark as it still looks, this was lightened with photoshop, and as I lightened it (with "overlay"), it began to look more and more like it was sepia-toned. I didn't take out the sepia because I like the effect it has on it.

Next time I get some dark room access, I plan to do a lighter print of this.
Moved to scraps on March 13th. I got a better version now ---> [link]
