Artist's Comments

**//** Note: This print has been donated to `ArtistsForCharity Please purchase the print here: [link] **//**

Spring 2001, Havana vieja, Cuba (Old Havana)
Near dusk, a group of boys gather to play.
You can see background activity as part of everyday Havana. If you look in the background, on the right side of the street, you will also see some sheets hung there to dry.

Canon Elan 7e
Sigma 28-105 lens
Kodak Tri-X pan film
Digital Dodging, Burning & Toning in PS6

*NOTE*
for those of yer that keep complaining about the quality of the shot... this is NOT a digital camera, there is such a thing as grain, which when I developed the film, I pushed, in order to enhance such thing. The other reason why the grain is so apparent, is because photoshop's resampling algorithm has a hard time dealing with the grain pattern without "enhancing" it, which means that the grain looks larger in the resampled image than on the print itself...

I really love the grainy texture, and the lighting and colors give it a very moody feel. It is as if time has freezed. This is going straight into my favs!

:iconspunj13:
the dark grainyness to it really gives it a very early 20's american feel to it...almost a reminiscent type shot...
