This message is painted on the boarded-up windows of an abandoned building facing an alley that connects Broadway and Van Buren Street in downtown Fort Wayne. Forget to Remember.

Chris, excellent!

May I ask why you were using such a fast film?
The DOF don't need to be huge and the subject doesn't move very quickly, does it? 😉

I shot it as I was walking back to my car after photographing some houses nearby. I used Tri-X at EI-320 for the houses, but it was past 7pm and the light was fading fast. By the time I walked past this building, in an alley shaded from the sunlight, it was even darker. I shot these at 1/30 at f4 with the film at EI-3200. I always carry a couple rolls of it in my bag just incase, and when I took a meter reading and realized I'd have to shoot either wide open or at a speed I couldn't handhold, I popped in a roll of D3200 and got the shots! 😀
 
well, it's excellent.
And not an easy shot either.
You had to be very precise on the framing to get the three shots exactly right.
Kudos.
 
Well done and interesting; as usual.

I need to try that combination of film and developer for when I want available light. It looks nice.
