We went in on a weekday, and the park was fairly empty. http://www.leica-gallery.net/max3/image-80432.html The sky was overcast. The light was a little hazy. http://www.leica-gallery.net/max3/image-80480.html By the time we got to the Belvedere Castle in the middle of the park, though, the sun broke through. http://www.leica-gallery.net/max3/image-80441.html The installation was not like anything I had ever experienced before. It was all around you. It called attention to itself, but it also made you look at the familiar landscape of the park in a new way. http://www.leica-gallery.net/max3/image-80436.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/max3/image-80434.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/max3/image-80437.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/max3/image-80431.html Everyone seemed to have a camera. http://www.leica-gallery.net/max3/image-80439.html It made me think about color. http://www.leica-gallery.net/max3/image-80435.html We're sad it's gone now. http://www.leica-gallery.net/max3/image-80481.html All images scanned from negatives on my new handy-dandy Epson 3170 Photo. This is my first attempt at scanning color at home, and at using PS -- most snaps here have some levels and unsharp mask tinkering. Comments encouraged. Max
