Some oldies but goodies.
Last night I got to thinking about these old images that amazingly I still love after many many viewings. They were made when I was a student and had access to so much great equipment. They were taken with a 4x5 camera (borrowed from school), then processed in the colour development room (by me, so that I could save money), then printed in the colour darkroom and scanned on the great old Imacon scanner that Dawson used to have. I still use the Dawson facilities since I teach there but now there are no 4x5 cameras (I might be wrong about this one), there is no colour developing room, or colour darkroom, and there is only 1 film scanner that takes 2 1/4 max. It makes my heart heavy to think of what people are missing.
April 14 update: There are now 2 film scanners which I think is definitely a step in the right direction.

I still love these too. The one of Mom always makes me feel sad, she looks like Cinderella!
ReplyDeleteNext time I win the lottery I am buying you a 4x5 camera and a baby barn to build a color dark room in. I am due to win soon.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteYou know, the lottery is not necessarily a good bet. You might want to just sell all your worldly possessions and buy that stuff for me now. I'll let you sleep in the baby barn if you're nice!
Kate.
