Directly above, is one of several "test prints" from the SAME "Black & White w/ Color" film negative of Bamboo. This one had very, very dark midtomes.  FYI - the watermarks are pasted just before I upload the JPEGs.

ALL the three images were taken during the one and only River Maya Concert at the Folk Arts Theatre, way back Aug,1995 { Sayang, I didn't take photos of Rico Blanco ! }

These analogue photographs were taken with a Nikkormat SLR. I used 35mm Kodak ASA 400 Black & White Film. I processed [as in, developed in a darkroom] the film. I tediously hand painted the Black & White Negatives with transparent hobby paint -> {manually applied the paint using needles, thoothpicks, and a "000" [triple 0] brush}

I then brought the now "Black & White w/ Color" Film Negatives to a reputable photoshop, and had them make prints using color paper.  Luckily, I was able to scan, in a flatbed scanner {sometime 1999}, a few [surviving] select prints in able to have JPEG files of the said images.  The original "Black & White w/ Color" negatives were, since then damaged/lost in a flood. 
My bad ! Nakakapanghinayang Talaga !!!
