Dev, Scan, Forget...

A few years ago, I felt like I was at the top of my game at the old day job. Yeah, man, I was the cock of the freakin' walk, struttin' my stuff. A real bad ass of the capitalist system. But I digress... I definitely still needed my shutter therapy sessions as much as I ever did. In fact, those sessions are probably what kept me 'sane' in the first place. I found these film scans from back in the day totally untouched in a rarely visited corner of my photo catalog. The red blotches on the negative are the telltale signs of Cinestill film. Confronted with the image, I can still recall lining up the shot. Can you remember your past photo sessions?

Mocktail Hour

The other afternoon, I was going through my old images while sipping a phony Negroni, my new favorite non-alcoholic beverage. I came across two frames from my first visit to Wyoming nearly two decades ago. For some reason, I had neglected to merge them into a panorama, but when I finally did, I rather liked what I saw. It definitely pays to make a few passes through your photographs to make sure you don't miss any gems. Perhaps the mocktail put me in a better headspace, who knows?! I've noticed, too, that my tastes have changed a little bit over the years. These days, I often prefer the gentler images to the high test ones.
