Richmond, Virginia, circa 1975, 35mm Ektachrome

I’ve been looking back at my early color images made mostly on 35mm slide film. Although I was vaguely aware of work being done by Eggleston and a few others, I was pretty much making things up as I went along.

This picture was made in Richmond, Virginia in the older part of downtown–Main Street near the train station most likely. I was particularly interested in compositional density in those days.
