Aberdeen, Mississippi I liked this shot so much in 35mm black and white that I went back and did it again on color medium format. You can see the black and white version earlier in my photostream. 1949 Kodak Tourist camera with a hard-coated Tessar Anastigmat Special lens and shutter from a 1947 Kodak Monitor. Kodak Ektar 100 film, developed in a liquid Arista brand C41 kit. Scanned on an Epson V550 using the standard negative carrier and a slab of anti-newton ring glass on top to hold the negative flat.
