Dining out
When I was in high school, I wanted to build a darkroom in the garage, and I was kind of surprised when my father said it would be okay to do so. I spent a good deal of time learning my craft in that cramped space. One of my favorite prints from that period of time was done on a paper that had greenish tint to it, and that was the look I was going for in the post production of this photograph. I sure wish I could remember the name of the paper, but I’m going entirely from old memories. At any rate, I came upon this scene on a recent walk. On the right, just out of frame, is a group of anonymous office buildings, and this looks like the most pleasant place around to have lunch, certainly preferable to the loading dock. Hopefully the work is important.
