About the Images
Images dated earlier than July, 2015, were taken on film with a variety of cameras and formats – small (24x36 mm), medium (6x6 and 6x7 cm) and large (4x5 inches). Since then most of the color images are digital.
Transparencies and negatives for the small and medium format were scanned at 4,000 DPI with a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED film scanner using the Nikon Scan software with drivers adapted for Windows 7.
The 4x5 negatives were scanned at 2,400 DPI on an Epson Perfection V750 Pro flat-bed scanner using the supplied Epson software and film holder.
The only post processing applied to the scans were dust removal, minor exposure and contrast adjustments and occasional color balancing. All but three of the images are shown uncropped.
