Lowell, Massachusetts—August 20, 1987

Sun and clouds. I aimed my Leica M2 at MBTA 905, a former New Haven Railroad GP9 with a complicated lineage.

I like the contrast of the silver locomotive against an old factory shadowed by a cloud.

This is an image characteristic of Kodachrome. This film rendered excellent color in bright sunlight, but tended to result in dark images in cloudy conditions, which was function of its reduced sensativity to the blue spectrum.

Full frame photo. Note the curved corners which are a function of the cardboard slide mount.
