Just a soap

The image is 50 years old or the paper is 50 years old? Holy crap if the paper is 50 years old that is quite the image quality!

Beyond that I love your use of lines and positive/negative space.

The lines and the softnes makes it interesting and it is just amazing that you can get this clarity out of a 50 year old paper.

the turn signal light + fender on my vdub bug ( 73' )

Very nice picture.

Thanks for the comments! Yes, it's holy crap, I got my hands on a big box of old photopaper of Kodak, Gevaert, Ilford and Dassonville. It turned out that most of Gevaert papers were still usable after all these years!

I like the graceful lines of the sink and how they are mimicked in the bar of soap. Very pleasing range of tones as well.

All the best,
Daniel

At first I didn't like the image but I keep going back to it and have really started to enjoy the image and the curves and tones. Some images need to be looked at several times to get it all in, as simple as this image is I feel it is complex and needs to be viewed over and over again.

PS: if your interested, I have a paper developer formula I got off of this site or mike and paula's but it is for old paper that may have fogging. I have not tried it yet, I have some polycontrast paper exp 1973 and just have not tried to use the formula.

Thank you all! Yes Mike, I read this morning an article on "unblinking eye" (http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/AntiqueP/antiquep.html) mentioning anti-foggants. It's something I definately will try out when time allows. I would be most interrested in your formula.
