T-Max with Some Color

Back in the old days, when I was shooting film cameras, I would occasionally load a roll of Kodak T-Max film. T-Max was a popular black and white film with an interesting grain pattern. Shooting monochrome film challenged my “vision” and taught me how to “see” compositions differently - even with color in the scene.

During today’s eerie weather - warm, damp, fog that almost looked like blowing snow - triggered thoughts of T-Max and how my scenes might look without color. Following are some samples of my version of digital T-Max film.
