I was going through some old image files today and decided to go way back in time. How I both miss Kodachrome and don’t miss film. The look is still amazing and the way it lended its self to story telling is like nothing else. I shot this image while on assignment in Peru, on the Altiplano near the Bolivian border in late 1988. My workhorse cameras at the time were the fabulous indestructible Nikon F3-T HP and for this image it was the stunning 105mm. Still one of the most beautiful lenses ever made. @julian_ray_photography
Wonderful portrait, with that impish gleam in her eye! Certainly tells a story.
Totally agree with you about Kodachrome and film, Julian! Very funny but so true. Something seductive about KR especially - PKR in your case, no doubt.
Getting a bit gear-freaky in your social isolation, Julian! Just kiddin'. ;-)
Chris, you made my day!
Awesome photograph Julian. I had the same camera back then.
E-6 slide film certainly has a unique clarity...Pachamama would be proud of you for depicting Inca culture in such a beautiful way...
Not sure if Mother Earth would be all that proud but the story of this amazing old Quechuan woman was amazing to get a chance to know a little bit.
Thank you so much Matthias for taking the time to comment. 🙏
