This project is based off this quote from Oliver Sacks’ book, An Arthropologist on Mars: “Mr. I also seemed to experience an excessive tonal contrast, with loss of delicate tonal gradations, especially in direct sunlight or harsh artificial light; he made a comparison here with the effects of sodium lighting, which at once removes color and tonal delicacy, and with certain black-and-white films—”like Tri-X pushed for speed”—which produce a harsh, contrasty effect. Sometimes objects stood out with inordinate contrast and sharpness, like silhouttes. But if the contrast was normal, or low, they might disappear from sight altogether.”
Shot on Tri-X pushed 2 stops.
