January 1995: This photo was taken when I was traveling from Predeal
(Carpathian mountains) to Bucharest by train. I have faced several
difficulties in order to make this photo. Some of them were: the moving
train, the low light conditions (noon), the black & white film
Azomures at 100ASA and my old camera (Russian Zenit) without light
meter.
I started taking pictures in June 1994 and in my
house in Bucharest I had a small dark room for developing films/photos.
I remember that for that photo I over-developed the film and this is
one of the reasons that the photo has big grain.
You make fine BW portraits. I even like the grainy stuff - looks good with the old man...
