A couple of years ago, we were wandering around Ponce City Market in ATL and came across a space that was being prepped for renovation. I fell in love with the patina on these old columns. Film is the perfect medium for these type of scenes, in my opinion. I exposed for the level of ambient light I wanted to record in the main space, and I knew that at least some information would be retained in the highlight areas of the windows. The final image successfully captured the feeling I had at the time. By now, the space is probably fully occupied, but I have not had the chance to go back to see what things look like. My gear that day was the Leica R8 and the last version of the 35mm Summicron-R.
