A LANDSCAPE FROM 55 YEARS AGO

Posted on February 26, 2016 by Thomas Bethune

I took this photograph with color slide film in a Kodak Brownie camera sometime around 1960. The original was covered with fungus, and I did a lot of processing with Photoshop. So this image is a sort of group effort – my fourteen year old self, and my present day awareness and vision.

Although I am not posting often, I am almost always working on some aspect of my  photography. On a near daily basis, I work on images either in Lightroom or in Photoshop. Lately, I spent lots of time scanning my negative collection. I am sure that I scanned several hundred during January. I have about 500 new images for the year 2016, including the image above. I took this photograph yesterday in Williams, California with my old Sony R1.
