Story:
In the southern part of Chiloé island, there is a small lake named Coihuin. It belongs to a group of friends that decided to build their summer houses.
The initial idea was to have an environment free of electricity and communications. Houses had oil lamps as well as battery powered light and some candles. Today many have installed solar panels, and other have a motor to produce electricity, so they can use different appliances in the kitchen, music and lights.
Chiloé used to have grey tint as it was constantly raining before the climate changed. During our stay we had blue sky, no rain during the entire 14 days.
On an early morning when all the family was sleeping, I went out to the lake which at that time it was a mirror.
Using a 6x7 Mamiya film camera that my friend Jaime had borrowed, took color images.
However, after development, they came out with a blueish tone, so converted them to B&W. Yesterday after 16 years I digitally redeveloped an image that is closer to the feeling I had when capturing them.
