The challenge of shooting under the conditions in The Barn reminds me again of the film The Five Obstructions and the idea of embracing the technological/technical limitations we're working with instead of trying to somehow outtechnologize them.<BR/><BR/>My pictures from that night are really grainy, too, which in a weird way makes me think of the grainy boards of the barn itself.<BR/><BR/>The Samson image is immensely powerful.
