These are the film photos from the same 36 hours the of the last post. Generally I don’t take my digital camera down to the dock, since electronics and water don’t play nice. This year I took the Texas Leica, which isn’t waterproof, but the big negatives are so nice to work with. I don’t think I can shoot 35mm any more?
These were super hard to edit, though. There were some technical difficulties; I was getting newton rings and had to order a special piece of anti-newton glass, and then had to make a cardboard mask to keep them off the scanner glass. But also once I got them into the computer just like, making selects from the six or eight rolls was what took me so dang long. Maybe I should hire a photo editor? I’ve thought about doing that in the past, but never really gotten around to it. I guess you could say I have feelings about these photos tied up with my feelings for all these people.
But finally, I don’t think sitting here and staring at these any longer would magically produce a tighter and more cohesive edit, so here we are, 30 photos deep. Everybody looks so good.
I may declare backlog bankruptcy after this. I think I have some stuff that probably deserves to get out though, even though I spent a lot of the trailing 12 months just trying to stay alive (three or four fractures, three abdominal surgeries, etc). We’ll see. Maybe I’ll try to keep up this pace of just posting. Bias towards posting. A tiny incremental pushing out of real work by a real person.
