[Leica] PESO: Lluis on Tri-X

[Nathan Wajsman]

The film was developed by me in ID11+, scanned by me on my film scanner, and subsequently spotted and adjusted first in Photoshop, then In Lightroom. I was up front about the technical deficiencies but decided to show the image because it is a very accurate portrayal of the subject’s personality, which, unlike yours, is pleasant and polite. And he is a much better photographer than you.
