photo: hand tinted Grand Canal Dock

 

Here’s a Rolleicord image that I’ve hand tinted – I’ve taken a bit of liberty with the colours of the poles, but I like it all the same. It started off life as a BW 120 neg which was scanned and then taken into Photoshop. I roughly matted out the shapes of some of the poles and selectively coloured them.

GraCanDo is a concatenation* of Gra[nd] Can[al] Do[ck] like TriBeca in New York, and I’m claiming it!

*concatenation is the wrong word but you know what I mean ...

Actually it’s a syllabic abbreviation. But there again, maybe it’s a neologism in which case I might have some issues next time I see my psychiatrist …
