14 March 2024 – Monteverde Sepia Joy


Sepia seems like a color that automatically makes one nostalgic. If that’s the metric, then this ink succeeds brilliantly. Average saturation (wouldn’t really want it to be any more saturated or it would be too intense for an old-times feel) and mild shading.

Yep, that’s a Civil War soldier proudly having his picture taken before going off to war 🙂

“Choosing sepia is all to do with trying to make the image both romantic and idealistic. It’s sort of a soft version of propaganda.” -Martin Parr.
