My Favorite Photographer, Today

Sergio Larrain, Trafalgar Square, London 1958-59

Every now and then I go through older pictures looking to see if there are some that I wrote off on first review as too fuzzy, or too light/dark, or too poorly composed, or whatever, and take a crack at seeing if I can "fix" them up somehow. I have more tools (software) at my disposal when I first went through these photos taken in Seville, and so I was able to play around with them a bit and turn them into something halfway presentable. They still aren't very sharp, but I think they still capture something of the experience of visiting that city, so "sketches" that justify a glance if not close study.
