Frank, I grew up and live 35 years within an hour or so's drive from Independence, yet never took in the Truman sites. I did however make it to a few Chiefs games (priorities you know). You've presented the office well here and handled the mixed lighting nicely. Did you filter the film or color correct after scanning?

No filtering

One of the nice things about Fuji print film is that it handles mixed lighting well. The only thing I did was add the unsharpen mask filter found in photoshop

Tarty reality

Firm framing, Frank. The inportant content is included nicely//what is the view thru the windows? Are those painted backdrops? And, what I notice most about this image that makes it funky is the vacuum cleaner lines around the bottom of the desk and chair leg feet. Th edetail is pleasing.
