find
it?

They are at: http://www.pbase.com/w_e_graham/5

I found it! What the heck was that person doing there in the nude?
LOL!
Did you get his attention once the shutter clicked, or were you able to
escape without notice?
Good work!

You know, I don't remember....I took it back in 1957, when I was in the
US
Navy stationed on a ship that was visiting Hong Kong. I didn't even know
he/she was there until the other day, when I was scanning some of my old
slides, and cleaning them up with Photoshop 7.......Since it was in the
middle of the day, and there is a child there, I think it was a woman,
but
we'll never know now, some 49 years later......It does tell us something
about "junk city", where many Hong Kong residents live.....they aren't
too
concerned about modesty....

1957----Wow. Those are great pics. Well done! Your preservation of
the photos and negs are to be commended.

I kept them in one of these metal boxes that holds 750 slides, and kept them
in the house, where they wouldn't be subject to the temperature/humidity
extremes of a non-heated space like a garage, for example. Otherwise, I
didn't do anything special to/with them. But they are not really in very
good shape. I have to do an awful lot of retouching on some of them, to
remove dozens of specks and spots that I believe are the beginning of mould
attacks. I don't know how I could have kept them any better, however, unless
I had the wherewithal to keep them in a dry nitrogen atmosphere, or
something exotic like that.....Air can get into these boxes, and that may be
a good thing. I don't know if they would have faired any better had they
been kept in an airtight container. The colors seemed to have faired
well....I seldom find one that needs color restoration......
