hi mark, the yellow filter works well, hope you dont mind if I try it, it has a very nice feel to it, I have been watching your portfolio, it looks like you might be on the cusp a great new alternative process, keep on experimenting:)

Hi my friends, hello Subhash;

So glad you like this one. Harsh as the city may be, but there's something beautiful when the light hits it a certain way. Thank you for stopping by. Love,

Mark

Hi Sarah; yeah, the filter thing works pretty good. And all you have to do is buy candy ;^)

Hi Mark; thanks for pinging me. This is a cool take, and an interesting combination of camera and technique. Once again it shows that of major importance is the vision of the photographer and not the equipment. Anyway, the composition and commentary on our times is well realized here. Cheers. Craig.
