Lustre is the finish style between glossy and matte

I shot this early released frontside air at DMSR in the mid-1980s

Chris Miller has style for miles and this photo is a classic

Tom "Wally" Inouye extends a Bertlemann at the Del Mar Skate Ranch 1981 Miller and 30x40 on Luster PaperThis photo of Tom "Wally" Inouye in 1981 is one of my first good photos, at least I felt like I was learning how to shoot and started to develop a style. I shot this with my first camera, a Minolta SRT201, and a 20mm lens. This was way before digital photography and Photoshop, so my exposure and lighting had to be spot on. Just one more thing to add, Wally was my neighbor and got me the job at Del Mar Skate Ranch! Thanks Wally! 12 x 16", 16 x 20", 18
