To me it does not look like snapshots back from Walgreens which is how much ColorNeg stuff looks even blown up big to me. Orson Wells said you could not be considered a serious actor unless you'd been in at least one black and white film. I think as photographers go a life shooting Kodachrome would not be wasted. You'd still get into Moma. And that life would have perhaps entailed a minimum of darkroom work. Mainly work on the light table.... Lightroom in analog.... Carefully making trays of 80 sides. Or sheets of 20. Or even those black cardboard things for slides which held less. Having ones work made into Cibachromes or what came later. Or prints with a 4x5 inch interneg. Or printing them yourself which is what I did.
