From the Vaults
So y'all remember how I am doing this archive project, right? Scanning in old negatives and posting them to Flickr in a sort-of one-a-day type situation (I always get lazy and let it go and have to post like 10 of them at a time or something. But today I am two days ahead!).
Sometimes I find shots that I remember but never really got a great look at (35mm contact sheets are SMALL looks at each photo) and once I scan in it I am super excited to see a great shot emerge. Like, say, this one!
I knew it was cool, but I didn't know how cool!
Sometimes I go looking for specific shots that I remember and haven't looked at in ages. Like these (actually digital) shots I took in Forest Park in Portland, Oregon, that my friend Matt's recent trip to the West Coast made me think of.
And sometimes I find things that just completely baffle my mind (and lack of memory). What the heck is going on here? There's a balloon taking off? People are wearing outdated fashions? And mostly looking the other direction? Is there another balloon off to the left of the shot? What in tarnation is happening? (Somehow I know it's in Central Park. But that's about all I've got.)
And I will leave you with the Oregon coast from a completely different trip to Oregon, these were taken more than 10 years prior to the forest shots above.
The archives, they are a treasure trove indeed.

I especially like the first Oregon shot, with all the fog and mist, and the balloon shot. Two different kinds of mystery! Love it.
I really, really love your eye.
holy shit, woman. all of those are amazing.
These are amazing! I still have you bookmarked so I was taking a peek. Hope you are well.
