October 2002.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During a visit with John Gruber at the old Omaha Union Station, where we met with the late-Bill Kratville, I made a series of photographs with my Contax G2 on Fuji 100 Acros black & white film.<\/p>\n

The station is an art deco gem and well suited to the tonality of black & white photography.<\/p>\n

I worked with my 16mm Hologon and 45mm Zeiss Planar and\u00a0processed the film in Dublin using my customized formula for Agfa Rodinal Special developer (not to be confused for the more common Agfa Rodinal).<\/p>\n

Recently, I scanned these negatives using my Epson V600 flatbed scanner, then scaled the image-files for presentation here.<\/p>\n
