Old Slide Sunday 11

Looks like someone went on a cruise. There are several pictures from this trip, but I don't know any of the people in the pictures. I'll show more from this cruise in the weeks to come.

What a motley crew. Thats my dad carrying his jacket, and... Robert De Niro, apparently, in front of him.

Old Slide Sunday 9

Another great shot of my great grandmother, Freebie. That's what we called her, probably because one of us mispronounced Frieda.

Old Slide Sunday 8

A quiet moment surfaces in the (still substantial) stack of slides to be converted. Light sweeps in from the dutch door of the kitchen, and can also be seen outside. The vignetted glow gives an introspective feel to this photo.

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.

Senior Show Sneak Peek 5

I found something out recently. These photos have a 38 linear foot home waiting for them come November 8. It's time to really start thinking about scale, order, and presentation.

"Oh, ho ho Garrett..." A hearty laugh is heard from across the room. "It's way too late to be thinking about those things now. You're up the creek, bro. Again. When will you ever learn?" My superego has a resounding, highly punctuated, wizardly demeanor. And an English accent.

"He's been working really hard on this, give him a break." My ego rebuts, plainly.

My id scratches his head.

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.

Old Slide Sunday 4

This is my great grandmother, Frieda. I have nothing but wonderful memories of her. She always had candy in a little dish in her living room. She had a hearing aid that made lots of noise and her house was super cozy. This is her around 1975, she lived to be 100.
