Submitter's name:	Roger Wesson
Title:	Che Gueroger
Gear used:	OM-1n + Zuiko 50/1.8
Film used:	Fuji Superia 200
Technical details:	I'd been visualising this shot for ages before I finally got around to doing it. My revolutionary technique was as follows: after scanning the shot and cropping away most of it, I upped the contrast to extreme levels, simultaneously adjusting the brightness to get the right balance between light bits and dark bits, and then I changed the colours to black on red.
Subject information:	Just an attempt to photograph myself in a similar style to a famous picture of one of my heroes. Hasta la victoria siempre!

A very "red" entry indeed...

I think you look more like Leon Trotsky than Che, but perhaps that's just me...

Hi Che Gueroger, I think it works very well. Looks just like what I remember of the Che posters, but there's enough of you in it to be very recognisable, so far as I can tell. Great visualisation. Brian
