The Lost Negatives - Navy Barracks
While I was sorting through my collection of slides and photos I came across a number of B&W negatives which I forgotten about. Mostly I shot color slides but occasionally I would grab a roll of B&W film to create a mood.
Scanning these negative reminded me of why I don't miss shooting with film. Dust, scratches and hairs show up as white blotches in the scan. Some but not all can be fixed in Photoshop but it is tedious work.
I think of the blemishes as I do the scratches and pops on vinyl records, it is part of the charm of the analog world.
The negative were kept in plastic sleeves but still managed to be dust magnets |
I can't believe I was this young. My haircut was legal and we were allowed to grow a mustache, but in 1968 I want to be hipper than this. |
When you have a camera you shoot for composition. I have no idea who this is. Maybe someday he'll find this blog and leave a comment. He is not drunk, just catching a nap. It was not easy sleep in the barracks, an open room with bunk beds and at least one marathon snorer. |
