travel photography - Religious life, Kathmandu, Nepal
Kathmandu, Nepal - 1995
This is a monochrome version of a scan of a color photo taken and printed in 1995.
I have traveled to different countries on this beautiful earth, but none made as much of an impression on me as Nepal. Maybe it was because it was my first journey outside of Europe, a real culture shock - the material poverty on the one hand and the spiritual richness on the other. It was transformational on my view of life.
This is one of those photos that is more impactful in color than in monochrome, but to keep in style with the rest of the series I converted this one also. In the original photo, the man's clothes are red so that he stands out more; I played with the color filters (of the B&W conversion tool) to find the right grey tone for the fabric in this monochrome version.
The series that this photo is part of was shot with a Canon AE-1 on 35mm color film. The negatives were developed in 1995 and printed; those original photos have faded a little bit. I scanned the photos last year on a regular office scanner. So overall the quality is not great, and I didn't attempt any touch-up or remove dust and lint because that to me is the charm of this whole series.
The color scan can be viewed in the Kathmandu series on my website.
I posted this yesterday on BeScouted.com, but somehow it didn't get replicated on steemit; hence a separate post now so that I can reference it later.
