The good, the bad, the ugly and the absurd...


Your pics are interesting from a journalistic perspective (pun
unintentional), but the tonal gradation from that 3200 film is
shockingly bad, as is the grain, clearly visible even on the smallish
images.


To me, the grain was the whole point... to create/enhance the feeling
of starkness and bleakness and portray the *feeling* of a dying town.
To bring the viewer in with the sense of what must be a silent
hopelessness for the residents.
