Photo Atlanta Industrial Postcard by Billy Holmes

This photo was taken around the middle of a huge Csx railyard in Atlanta, Ga. The idea for this photo was to simulate the look of an old postcard in color, composition and texture. The processing of the image contains effects that could all be obtained with traditional lab processing. Fuji Astia 100 film cross processed chemicals E6 to C41. This has ben a fun experiment for me and I hope you enjoy the results ! Thanks for viewing :)

Thanks for viewing Mircea ! Yes weather is strangest I've ever seen. In midwest states they are having blizzards killing many people and seems like everywhere else it should be cold is warm. One day here we will be almost 70 degrees farenheit then next below 32 degrees farenheit.

Thank you very much Peter !! I'm glad you feel my efforts prevailed ! I collect a few old postcards here and there and I've always liked the look of some of the older ones so I thought I'd give it a shot at creating my own smile
