KRKD Radio Tower

[Brian Moore]

Downtown Los Angeles. 1932 I believe. The radio station no longer broadcasts. (And hasn't since the late '30s I think.)

Mamiya 7 and expired Portra 800 film.

Thank you Julian,...the "Golden Hour" was about to comnmence but its magnificent light was shaded somewhat by surrounding high rise buildings. Still, I think the expired Portra film did OK. Thanks again, Julian.

Thank you Hamish and Vic. I, too, like the tones the Portra film gives.

That's pretty good for a shot from 1932 Brian!

Love the vintage tones of the film and the shabby chic of the building

Wonderful stuff again Brian. This old Potra has a touch of Polaroid to it don't you think (maybe emphasised by the faint vertical streaks). I really like this shot. It was certainly worth traveling back in time to grab!

OK,...very funny Hawkeye. Modern fotie(by ME)--Auld building!

It does have a Polaroid look to it. Not so much those faint vertical streaks I cannae see (have ye cleaned yer specs lately) but the color palate which has a warmness to it not unlike Polaroid color images and even the Fuji color peel-apart instant film of today.

Thanks, Pete.

It as the colours that made me think of that. Have you seen this photographer's work?

Hadn't heard of him. Pete. But he's doing some beautiful work isn't he. I know he's doing some Polaroid stuff. Is it all Polaroid?

 

[Pete Askew]

Pretty well. Certainly Casablanca and Asmara Dreaming are.

Thanks, Pete.
