This is an oldie, but one of my favorite photos. I took this picture in 1992 during a road trip with Ken through Normandy and Brittany. It's the city of Granville on the Normandy coast. The original photograph was a color slide, probably Fujichrome. I scanned it and converted it to a black-and-white image about seven years ago.

Granville, au Cotentin, 1992.

I've since reprocessed the original scan; the result is what you see here. I think it looks a little better now. Except, of course, for the vertical scratch that's visible on the lower half of the slide. My old Pentax camera started scratching the film for some reason. I have hundreds of slides with the same scratch through them. I could remove the scratch with Photoshop, but I decided not to do it today.
