This is an image from southern downtown Dallas. A friend and I were roaming with our cameras and I dont even remember photographing this. While reviewing my shots, I found that this image looked better in black and white becasue of its high contrast nature, and planned on priting it as such. However, when I began printing in gum, I decided a two color approach might be more interesting. Printing ultramarine blue into the shadows and orange in the highlights with help from a brush during development, this was the result.
