10424 Pam - Vancouver - 1981

            People photos, continued as promised with a deep dive into my past. 

In our Vancouver years, Pam and I would walk all around the city. Stanley Park, the industrial waterfront, outlying places, you name it. It was a good city for walking; probably still is. 

My many photos of her were mostly spontaneous, improvising with natural light and whatever happened to be around us. More than 40 years later, I realized this old Kodachrome would look better converted to black and white and cropped. Rather than trying to pull detail out of the shadows - often impossible with those contrasty slide films - I allowed the shadows to go deep and black. In this respect it is almost a "found image"... not what I was trying for at the time, but perhaps more interesting.

Photographed in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada); scanned from the original Kodachrome 64 slide. Don't use this image on websites, blogs, or other media without explicit permission ©1981 James R. Page - all rights reserved.
