Coffee Ennui

As I get older I find myself embracing the new technology. In 2009 I published a book documenting the ＂rock-a-billy＂ scene at Kochanski’s Concertina Beer Hall. The lighting inside was quite a challenge, just a few dim, red lights. To use a flash would have been out of the question. I needed to purchase a very sensitive camera. Due to the low-level lighting conditions the photographs looked better when simply converted to black and white. My photos had the look of Tri-X film and many viewers of the photography did not place it as recent. Had I spent considerable time with the images using photographic software, I perhaps could have gotten a few usable color images. In general I do not believe in more than a smidgen of photographic enhancement.
