7. Weathered

I’m feeling it — weathered, that is — already.

The project: sort, scan, blog old photos.

But, sadly, far far too many of my photos from this early era are failed experiments in the darkroom, photos damaged by the ravages of a leaky basement, and photos discovered only in contact sheet form. I have many of the latter, and though they don’t scan well — they’re too small and the texture of the photo paper too apparent as I enlarge them — I will post a few anyway. Think of it as peek behind a weathered old door, but a door that only opens just a little because the hinges are so rusty.

Mrs D!
I am so glad you are doing this. I didn’t have the enrgy to do it this year. I love your theme. I would love to be able to do that too except all my photos are in an attic in England somewhere - the old ones at least.
Good luck - I’ll try nad check back later to see how you are doing

You should see some of *my* old photos. :)

I like this one best so far! But of course that would be obvious!

Thank you, Jaynee!

Hey Sam! Good to see you drop by. I hope you get a chance to retrieve your photos sometime and sort through them, and I hope that attic is nice and dry (unlike my basement). Oy, water damaged photos are not a joy to discover.

Hey Jen, I am always drawn to photos of weathered paint. Do you suppose it’s a texture fetish? ::g::
