A few more...

Here are a few more pictures I scanned. Enjoy.

Bear Lake from the deck of the cabin.

My niece, Marina.

A classic, Homeless Kenny: In Search Of Food.

I've just always liked this picture.

Adjectives fail me.

Well, tune in later for more. Take it easy, all.

Finally here...

Well, the scanner has finally arrived, and I have been learning to use it. I have scanned a few negs, and am hoping to do many more. Black and white is kind of tricky to scan, so there is a bit of a learning curve to get through, but I seem to be getting a bit better as I figure things out.

Here are some pictures for everyone to enjoy:

A dead saguaro at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum.


Looking over the valley, also from the museum.

If these pictures don't seem as sharp or clean as they might be, don't blame the scanner. Part of it is the photographer, and his focus distance guesswork, and part could the the camera, which is this one:

I do like using older cameras, though, because you never know what little quirks or light-leaks might be in there. I also had to respool a roll of 120 film onto a 620 spool so it would work in this camera. So, it's really been fun.

That's about it for now, hope to have more pictures up later. Take it easy, all.

Yay scanner!!!

Well, after shooting several rolls of medium format film, and deciding that there is just nowhere in the apartment to build a darkroom, I finally decided on a scanner that would fit my needs. So, it is on order and should be here sometime this week, or early next at the latest. It will do 35mm slides or negs, medium format (120 and 220) and large format (up to 4 x 5 negs, anyway.) So, I can't wait for it to get here, and hopefully I can post some of my fun pictures soon. I am also giving slide film a go, and decided to give Fuji Velvia a go. I've heard that its color range is amazing, so we'll see what happens.

In other news, Amy got bit by some spider-thing and was pretty miserable and itchy in the foot for a while, but she is getting better now. I got my car fixed (it had a bad intake manifold gasket. It was apparently installed wrong in the factory, and finally burned through a weak spot. Oh well, better now.) and I got my AZ plates. So long UT 929 XEG. You will be missed.

Thats about it for now, more later.
Take it easy, all.
