Ethnic dancers

What I used to enjoy about my work was the people assignments. These images were shot at a family service center in Queens, NYC that was run by Catholic Charities, my costumer. These were Columbian folk dancers putting on a very lively show. It was followed by Chinese dancers. Queens is New York City's most diverse borough and it seems that English is seldom heard, I love to live in Queens in a neighborhood where I can find all the Italian provisions for my cooking. Just wonderful.

A Rollei and Tri-X, pure black and white medium format heaven



Tri-X Pan Professional has an ASA (ISO) of 320 very fast then but terribly slow now. Developed in D-76 full strength it created sublime images. But that was then and film  is no longer viable. Too bad. These images were all shot in the late eighties in  NE Pennsylvania.
