Where Were You?  Michael Conen was there! 

 

This is some great stuff from the Swiss Park set.  These are 8x10 prints from Chip's cache.  RC paper never promised you a rose garden in the first place.  Plus orange streaks of slightly improper fixing.  Equals such excellent patina on paper prints over forty years old!  I did a little histogramic work (apologies, Michael!) on the images.  As you can see from the contact sheet, exposures range widely, as of course they always do in the wild.

 

So I urge one and all to tap the beginning link to the man's crazy good archive of his own work.  He scanned all the negatives, and digitally worked up proofs.  He took his camera to quite a range of shows over the years.  It is a very fascinating and satisfying rabbit hole!
