Images from India

[Robert Hall]

Hi all,

I recently returned from India on a 2 week trip. I took a number of images with 35mm and since my darkroom isn't quite finished yet, I had a local lab process them.

I plan on making a traveling show from a reduced number of the images I have here.. http://www.RobertHall.com/India

These are poor scans from the negs but I think they convey well what I saw and felt.

Technical stuff:

All 35mm, HP5 developed in Xtol. Ran though no less than 6 airport scanners with no loss in image quality. (New York, Paris, Chennai)

I hope they convey to you the wonders I saw while I was there.

Enjoy,

Great photos, Robert! I can't wait to see some of your results from printing yourself. Those are some terrific photos, and really convey a sense of place.

Hi Robert

You have captured in such a short time a series of beautiful Images.
Your work is very gentle and respectful of the people and landscape and it conveys what I think of the people I have met from India and their decendants. I would love to see these images in a series once you have spent time editing and printing them onto nice paper.
well done

Wonderful images, Robert! I, too, would love to see this in a series once you have had the time to print them yourself.

Hope you enjoyed your trip. From my brief encounter with Chennai I can say that it is a cleaner city than most Indian cities.

And BTW, what's Velvia?

It's the lastest in B&W film, uses a new process called "E6". What makes it so valuable, is that all the colors are not bleached away.

I acutually do have some color, but it was more documentary work. I leave that color stuff to the experts.
