\"\"<\/a>We’re back on the water again<\/a> this week but this time we have a larger boat and a larger body of water. Being that the photographer John B. Capewell<\/strong> lived in Westville, New Jersey<\/a>, I think it’s safe to assume that he shot this 5″ x 7″ glass negative on the banks of the Delaware River.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u00e2\u20ac\u0153processing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em> was done digitally on a Mac using Adobe Photoshop.<\/strong><\/p>\n
