I’ve been testing a new piece of software to convert old black & white negative to positive images in order to archive some of the old medium format negatives that Watson Parker and Hugh Lambert shot for their ghost town research. On this particular trip, Dr. Parker was accompanied by lifelong friend Hugh Lambert, who co-authored “Black Hills Ghost Towns”, and Hugh’s first wife Jackie.
These images were taken by Hugh K. Lambert, using a Hasselblad camera, presumably on Kodak film. They’ve been restored using Lightroom and a demo of Negative Lab Pro.
