35mm Film Scans

Scans from my old 35mm strip negatives. Photos taken between December 1991 and October 1996, using a Fuji Discovery 80 point-and-shoot (which, it has to be said, had a few shortcomings as a camera). Scanned using a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED film scanner.

Sunset over the breaking ice at McClain State Park, Hancock, Michigan, April 8, 1994. As I recall, I was standing near the edge of the icepack, above about ten feet of water and about fifty feet from shore...not especially smart.

Appropriate, given that we heard about Kurt Cobain's suicide on the way to the park that afternoon. From McClain State Park, Hancock, MI, April 8, 1994.

Lake Superior near Ontonagon, Michigan, Labor Day weekend, 1996. Despite the place's name (and reputation), the weather was perfect, the lake was warm enough to swim in, and the usual clouds of biting insects were nowhere to be seen.

A really disturbing dolls-head, found in the stamp sand at an old copper mill. June 1994. Added some severe manipulation of the color curves. Really brings out the eyes. And not in a good way.

A really disturbing dolls-head, found in the stamp sand at an old copper mill. June 1994. I've always been both drawn to and repelled by the weirdness of this picture, and I remember being a bit spooked even while taking it. This version is pretty much as-is, only gamma-shifted to enhance the B-W contrast a bit. Time and exposure to UV and the stamp sand had turned the doll head's hair pink and its vinyl skin a ruddy grey. If you click on the map link, you can actually see the stamp sand on the satellite view, stretching a half-mile out from the mill and several miles south along the Lake Superior shoreline. Couldn't get away with creating a moonscape like that nowadays.
