Retro-Monday!!!





Back when silver halide crystals dominated pixels and ISO was ASA, I was asked to shoot a poster for The Coterie Theatre in Crown Center.  "The Wrestling Season" is a play that tackles a subject matter seldom addressed but vital to youth and their families: the search for identity and the peer pressure that accompanies it.  

I am not sure if it was a good play or not.  I never saw it.  I do know that this project was shot on film (b/w no less) and was put together at Kuhn Wittenborn by Mike Colahan, senior Art Director at the time (Mike and his talents have since moved companies).  Mike added a ton of effects using scans of scratched plastic and other tricks (Photoshop 5?).  The photo is a scan of the original print, then manipulated by me using CS2.  Enjoy!
