So I was browsing the Archives from back in the '70s

[AndyS]

and found this among the thousand or so Tri X B&W negatives. Sparked it up a bit with some selective colorizing.

Whatcha' think?

1. Well first off, manwich is NOT better than a sandwich

That $hit is nasty...

But I like Coke much to my A1C's chagrin...

3. I had some shoes exactly like those.

I’m sure the male DUers will be gazing at this for a while ....

4. Just have to remind them she's a bit past 70 now . . .

6. Tri-X

I loved shooting with Tri-X. I bulk rolled it in the 60s & 70s, and printed proof sheets. I got the cost down to a penny a frame.

Oh, and great shot!

8. Tri X was the go-to for everything.

I even mastered a version of the Ansel Adams zone system using multiple rolls of film at different ISOs and developing them accordingly. Like you (and everybody serious about shooting B&W in the day) I bulk loaded.

Looked at your Profile and hope to see some of your work here in the group.

And thanks for the kind words about the shot.

14. Thanks!

AndyS thanks for checking out my profile. You can find some of my photography at www.ross-kestin.pixels.com or on Instagram at @oldguywithacamera.

About Tri-X... I met my wife when I was dropping off a roll of Tri-X at her family's custom B&W photolab in 1983. We just celebrated our 36th wedding anniveesary!

7. I think it's a great shot, my dear Andy, and your colorizing is subtle and just right!

I also wish that I had ever had a figure like hers was then.

10. I kind of took a walk down memory lane looking at the old B&W negatives.

Found a pic of my Dad - had very few as he was quite elusive when cameras came out. Some made me smile and some, well, made me misty.

9. Halter top, cut off jeans, stacked shoes. Those were the days!

Wore the same outfit.

Great picture.

[AndyS]

11. Those were the days indeed 😉

12. Grandma wasn't happy with us wearing halter tops. But then a picture showed up

of her and her sister both wearing halter tops and shorts in the 1920's or 30's.
My aunt dug up the picture as she didn't like grandma being so critical of the kids.

But yes those were the days, I guess the guys liked it too.
