Pia Beck


I just heard she reached the end of her keyboard. "Pia's Boogie" was her first big succes, in the year my Argoflex and I were born. What a woman she was!

1949 Argoflex on pre-1970 Selochrome in eternal Rodinal.

3 opmerkingen:

  1. Such a lovely quality to some of the shots with these old cameras; this has really come out well with that soft old-time quality. Nice old camera, and good to see it getting a chance to perform.

  2. That softness is also a quality of the 620 Selochrome! I noticed the difference when using FP4 in my Duo 620. Selo was "nicer".(Maybe a good idea to stock film like vintage port?)

  3. Classical subject, as always beautifully executed, with just enough brightness to make it not so gloomy! great!
