I am the Highway by graemestevens

I am the Highway

I was at a loss today, not so much for inspiration but for a photo that worked. It seems that shot 57 was the one that made the grade, very loosely inspired by the Audioslave song "I am the Highway" and the vision that comes to mind when I hear it - jacket and a pair of down at heel boots, walking away from everything but with good reason.
Nice picture, and awesome song.

I really like the gritty look of this photo. I'm still looking for a technique to get my b&w photos to look like this.

@bigugly Thanks, and yes it is @duprejr Thanks - I just used Picasa on this, boosted it and played around with the grainy effect on there. I started with the "holga" effect and ran with it from there

@rachelwithey thank you, a bit of trial and error but I got there in the end @shannejw thanks, like your docs too, only have 3 pairs so fair, must remedy that!

@graemestevens I've only got this pair and they need replacing, but I can't wear them at the moment - suspect I have broken one of the small bones in my foot. My daughter followed me and has a couple of pairs
