Paul Hudyma's Black and White Photography

Who's that guy with the sword?

This picture works well. The mood is there because of the clouds
in the background and the majesty of the mountains.
The background took a long time to burn in in the darkroom.
This was a very longterm process that took an extreme
amount of effort. The location was Poet's Seat Tower
in Greenfield, Ma.. I thought it would work well because
I thought that it might look like a Medeival castle.
I was going for the feudal-king states 0f-Dark-Ages-of-Europe feel.
I think that I kind of succeeded. Except for the L.L. Bean
insignia on Tim's Sweatshirt and the modern jacket, this
peice seems like a hearkening back to some ancient times.
