So Jack called this afternnon to offer kudos on the most recent patent (7,979,303) and we got talking about the B&Ws from the Old Idaho Penn. He liked the snaps but not the venue. I told him I had worse, I almost never take photos of or in a cemetary. I can only think of four times, Arlington National, the Mumma cemetary at Antietam, Oak Hill in Georgetown (from the nearby park) and Congressional Cemetary at Pennsylvania Avenue at the Anacostia in the District. The Congressional shots were taken on my birthday almost 5 years ago and never processed. I guess I didn't much like the results. Mostly maybe becuase I went to get some snaps of the centopaths but I only took 29 snaps total and the centopath snaps were decidely not very compelling. The colors were worse and I was using the 45 TS-E for one of the first times and that didn't work so well either. But...
in the spirt of being a contrarian, they got processed today to show it can always get worse — or at least the venue can. Kinda like the piece in today's NY Times Dealbook about the sentencing proceedings in the Raj Rajaratnam insider trading case. Anyway, four shots from the Congressional Cemetary ca fall 2006, I understand the centopaths have been restored since. All with a fairly heavy dose of the Color Efex 3 Midnight filter.
Lastly, some centopaths — designed by Benjamin Latrobe
