The title says it all. * Camera used: Voigtlander Bessamatic Deluxe 35mm SLR with its Zeiss-made Color Septon 50mm f/2 lens * The original film used was Kodacolor negative film on which I shot this image in 1966 from which a 5"x7" color blow-up print was made and subsequently placed into one of my photo albums where it remained for about 35 years until I "re-discovered" it in faded magenta-only condition which quickly gave me an idea. Using my old Epson Perfection 1250 scanner, I scanned this image into my old Macintosh Power PC (with all of 558 megabytes on its internal hard drive) where I converted it to black-and-white. Next, I removed all the "gray areas" with my old Adobe Photoshop 5 leaving just a "pure" black-and-white "silhouetted" image of which I made an 8"x10" print on special print paper with my old Epson Perfection printer and that print lay dormant for about another 10 years until I recently re-discovered it in excellent condition among my various documents that were stored in a dusty old cardboard box.
