Old Slide Sunday 7

This photograph stopped me in my tracks. It has the best composition of any that I've seen so far. Everything from the ladder in the foreground to the just barely visible kitchen appliances inside make this gem of an old slide beautiful. It reminds me of an Arnold Newman portrait.

Old Slide Sunday 6

These slides are color balanced for daylight, so any time a photo is taken in the shade the colors shift to give the photo a cooler (or bluer) palette. Conversely, photos taken indoors, lit by lamps, take on an orang-red warm hue. While bad color balance can ruin some photos, I definitely enjoy the way it makes photos like these look.

Season changes always trigger nice memories. Summer changing to fall brings to mind the smell of winter coats being brought out of the attic, brisk winds and new pencils.
Visually it reminds me of images like this.

I'm told this is Lucy. The cake says "Happy Birthday Aunt El." I love how she looks like she's in a closet waiting to surprise Aunt El. The cake looks beautiful, and the pictures on the wall look neat too. Jeez, I'm loving these old pictures.
