The House of Joy was around when Jenny Jerome walked Main street. Near this establishment is the "Husband's Alley", where said husbands slipped behind Main Street to where the evening establishments once stoop. House of Joy being the last of that breed, kept up over time. The palladium printing actually shows off the place about as nicely as the original color image, shot with an old Canon QT - 35mm camera, using color film, to capture the colors of the buildings, and surroundings.
The color images are converted to "black & white film" filter, rendering the original color image into a very long scale b&w image, same as if I shot the image using FP4, developing in Beutler 105. This print also was printed to a digital negative using the Na2 <curve>, to keep all the middle tones and textural detail intact An 8 minute print in my custom UV printer. I have a 16"x20" print frame that just fits inside, with the flip up loading door closed. The print is 'brighter' than the digital copy shown here.
