Here is the (semi)original version of my entry:

It was taken in a studio with 6x7 Mamiya on Plus-X B/W 120 film and a 8x10 glossy was made. This was reproed with a Canon EOS-D mkII (just window light, you can see a slight glare on the right side background).

It looked a bit plain to me and I made the mistake of adding some texture (canvas) in photoshop. When the photo was resized for the voting the texture really messed the picture up because the texture interfered with the monitor resolution.

All light was either bounced from styrofoam reflectors or shot thru large diffusors, 2 sqrM lightbox above to make the backround paper white (you can see the roll up left..). About 12 kWs worth of flash power...

As the darkroom was dismantled last week this was the last roll of B/W film I shot and possibly the last print I ever make...
