A Silver Lining

Things are finally getting back to normal. Finally all dry. Lots of things sent to the trash. But still disorganized — nothing is where it used to be — but that’s even improving. We’ve completed three shows since my last post, and have added a lot of new 8×8 canvas squares. I’ll be adding those to my website over the next few weeks.

The Silver Lining —

I found some of my slides from 1965 through 1985. The ones that date before 1970 all pretty much blank, the dyes are long gone. But the ones from 1970 and later are still visible. There is a lot of color shift and a lot of dust that is embedded into the emulsion. In the early 70’s I was processing and mounting my own slide film, so some of the dates are just estimates.

I am not currently offering these for sale — as I see what sizes I can print and still maintain a quality image, I will make some of these available in a very limited edition. For now though, you can get an idea of what I was doing 40 years ago (if I could find some of my old B&W negatives, that would really be interesting).

The first one shown here is from the Railroad Station in West Kingston, RI.
