Do You Remember...

I am a sucker for old found negatives. I love it when I find an old negative because it's like a present. You never know what you will find when it comes up on the scanner. Sure you have an idea of what it is but you can't see the details until the image comes up. I guess it's sort of like working in the darkroom printing B+W prints. it's like magic when the image starts to come up in the developer.

Today when I was sorting the recycling I came across this old negative at the bottom of the recyclng container. How it got there one has to really wonder. It was all covered in sticky gunk and whatnot. I decided not to clean it up and I put it on the scanner as found. In the strip there was this image of my son Jay when he was a little boy. Obviously I really like it because it's my son.He waspretty cute.

God's precious love and blessings to all,

An Image From the Collection

This evening I picked out a negative from my Grandfather's collection to scan. The negative I chose is the same size as the ones the Kodak Autographic 2C Jr. produces. The image shows relatives of mine from when they were really young L-R are my Aunt Butzel a native German holding hands with my mother Betty Hansen. Aunt Mary Anne Reis in the car and , My Aunt Audrey Shea. A pretty sharp image for what would be considered a point and shoot camera during that time period.

God's blessings to all,
