Abstract Angles

The PLEX, North Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok  © Doug Hickok


These are the colorful stuccoed walls of a movie theater that was later used as a boxing venue. It has been demolished since I made this image on slide film about a decade ago. I miss the ability of good slide film to render color and textures in bright light without having to enhance these qualities in post-processing. The above image is a nice example of this. Raw digital images would need a bit of work to get them to look like this.

    So true--nothing like slide film for a shot like this which, by the way, I'm completely enamored with.

    I love the planes of colour - and that superbly placed cloud.

    As to the lack of Kodachrome and Velvia - such is progress, sometimes we just have to work harder to achieve similar ends.
