Final Rinse

One of my successful slides in the interenational salons is this colour-derivation work with blue diazochrome film. The original image was captured at the Potong Pasir area where the worker was rinsing rattan in a pond for use in making furniture.

I wish that I had Photoshop during then! For this case, I spent a lot of time in retouching and working in the darkroom in oder to achieve the visual impact of this image. This slide won the PSA Gold Medal for the Best Slide of the show at the 8th Torreon International Salon, Mexico, held in 1975.
