Safari #2
Go black & white: literally
Orthochromatic litho film was a type of film that could be developed in a way that eliminates all the middle tones. This would give the photograph a graphic poster effect. Not all subject matter converted well to the graphic high contrast effect provided by the film so you had to train your eye to see the right subject.
The safari is to:
1. Train yourself to ‘see’ subject matter that will reproduce well as a high-contrast image.
2. Develop a technique to create your own high-contrast images using your digital files.
