B&W Challenge: The Kelp Picker

My hopelessly romantic, politically incorrect, and wonderfully talented cousin Darlene Meador Riggs (painter, photographer, political commentator) of “Dirt Road Heaven” renown, invited me to the B&W Challenge a few weeks ago. This is a friendly invitation which is popular with photographers now and I had been enjoying the work of master shooters I’ve come to know over the years, but all my negatives were burned in a storage fire years ago and my scans of prints haven’t been very satisfactory. So this was a real challenge for me…working on scans of old slides and some newer digital images. The first roll of Ektachrome I processed included the image below…a kelp picker on a cold day off the coast of Wakkanai, Japan.
