In the Window, Schwartz' Deli, Montréal, Quebec, 2011

Meat sits on display in the window of Schwartz’ Montreal Hebrew Delicatessen, on Boulevard Saint-Laurent, in Montréal. I have tried to give this a more filmic quality in processing, by adding grain, reducing saturation, increasing vibrancy, and toning it to increase blues in shadows and yellows in highlights. A different direction for me, but I am mostly pleased with the results.

The sandwich from Schwartz’, the deli featured in yesterday’s post. It was delicious, and worth the wait. The pickle and coleslaw raised no complaints, either.
