Raymonds’s Neighborhood

Photo was taken in July of 1980 at a neighborhood block party. It is a Kodachrome slide scanned with an old Nikon slide scanner. Thanks to ViewScan software for supporting this device since Nikon stopped supporting it.
I was house sitting there for a couple who went off to Italy for an opera tour. After living there for a month, this gringo was warmly accepted by the neighborhood , which allowed me to take very good portraits of the residents while I lived there. This group shot shows the diversity of the people. Raymond was my main friend while I was there that summer of 1980.
