Dust and Scratches
I’ve been on a bit of a Flickr binge, posting some old photos that I recently scanned. We’re talking REALLY old photos from high school and band, as well as some vacations and other trips. I was worried that the film would have deteriorated too much in the years it has sat in drawers and boxes, but it all appears to be in ok condition.
The real trick has been the photos from the GASFP trip back in 2000. They sat in film canisters and got all kinds of scratches and dirt. It really pains me to see scratches in the emulsion like that when I could have maybe taken better care of them and ended up with better scans. Nobody ever told me that film could scratch itself so easily.
I’ve uploaded some of them, and will eventually put them all in order and even perhaps date and geotag them.

Oh god, the IFP pictures! How I wish I’d taken that opportunity when I had it. Wow.

Yeah, looking through the photos made me so nostalgic for the program. I look forward to the day when I can take 2 months and camp around the country again.
