. . . from the archives #10: Valkyrie—Marin County, 1999


I took this photograph in a parking lot in Corte Madera. I started using color negative film in 1998, due to the obvious trend towards digital processing and printing. But without access to either adequate scanners or printers I decided to try for a graphic arts look with some of my photos.

In this instance I used the posterization tool in Photoshop to create a silkscreen-type image because my printer wouldn’t handle subtle gradations. I remember wondering at the time when real photorealistic inkjet printers would finally become available.
