Trendy

Getting ready for a night on the town with my crew.

Unlike the 110 film from last night, all I needed to do on this 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 neg was clean up the dust.

Healthy

Nurse Elisabeth, hard at work.

110 film isn't always the easiest to work with, as you can see from the raw scan below.  I had to do some tweaking to get it to look the way it does in today's featured image.

Goofy

Asian beetle alert. 

Imploringly

Still sifting through negatives.  Don't know if my kitty ever got the frozen strawberry, but he was pretty determined to have it.

110 negative scanned with Epson V600.

Snooty

It's hard to be humble when you look this good.  As seen in 2003.

Awkwardly

When you just want to put off facing the day as long as possible.

Tonight I was sifting through 110 negatives.  I hate 110 film because it is poor quality and is hard to work with.  This one was well exposed, though.  Maybe a little bit too much exposure.  hmmmmm

Ordinary

More from the "lost" images I was talking about yesterday. 

There is nothing extraordinary about this image.  It was poorly exposed and possibly wasn't even printed at the time it was developed.  What caught my eye is that it could have been taken this week in south Minneapolis instead of almost 50 years ago, if it wasn't for a couple of things.

One thing is the antique snowblower my dad is using.  I'm not sure why, but by the time I was aware of such things, dad only used a shovel, so this is a rare shot indeed.   Not sure why he didn't continue using a snowblower. 

And the main thing that shows this isn't a modern view of Minneapolis is the 55 gallon drums being used as trash cans!  It's funny how something so simple and mundane can really date a picture.

Serendipity

I was perusing old 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 negatives this evening and found several images I had never seen before, including this one of me and my dad.  This really made my night!

I don't know what happened to the prints for these negatives.  I have other prints from the set.  Maybe because this was a "Hey honey, look over here!" unflattering pose?  I don't think so, though, because some of the other "lost" images were really cute. 

I know from other pics that dad had just lost a bunch of weight.  He's wearing his baggy pants from his suit in this image.  Not sure if we were getting ready for church or if he was showing off his weight loss.

Serenity

A little color after the 12.4 inches of white we got yesterday.  As seen in 2014.

Snowy

It's pretty.  As long as you don't have to try and drive in it.

Confrontationally

Anticipatory

Skol, Vikings!

Quietly

Just a quiet Friday night in downtown Minneapolis.  I'm sure it will look nothing like this two weeks from now when the Super Bowl crowd is in town.

Cozy

As seen in 2010.

Comfortably

Unhappy

Romeo was not happy about potty time Friday morning when it was -10ºF outside.

Illuminatingly

There was a lot of purple and gold cheering the Vikings on this past weekend.  The beauty of LED lighting.

Sportingly

Skol Vikings!  It was a balmy 0º when we were out here last night.

Possessively

Contemplatively

Still hanging out in 2010 today with another from the fun fashion shoot.

Ripply

Today I've stopped in February of 2010.  This image is from a photography club photo shoot I participated in.  Rex was a great model to work with!

This evening I also updated broken links to other images from this photo shoot that I've blogged in the past.

Ritzy

Pulled another one out of the library.  As seen in 2011.

Kitty

Angel, my Itty Bitty Kitty

Classy

I really need to get out and take some pictures.  In the meantime, I pulled one out of my photo library and spruced it up.

Intently

Slurpy

Frenzy

Whatever was in that fast food wrapper never had a chance.

Moody

As seen on our way to Canada last October.

Organically

A little autumn leaf art to take your mind off the cold weather we are having right now.

Bossy

Icy

A partial view of the old and new portions of the dam at Lake Byllesby.  What I enjoy is the view of the natural cascade during the fall and winter months.  It is part of the original natural waterfall/rapids that gave Cannon Falls its name.  

Many moons ago, when it wasn't quite so well fenced off,  I actually walked out in that area.  I will have to try and find my pictures.
