SEE yourself ON TV

This photo is hot! Share it!

From my favorite abandoned amusement park, Enchanted Forest, comes this wonderful carnie sign painted on a ride trailer. This film, that exired in 1987, cross processed with little effect on the quality of the image. It does make it look a little more retro than what it looks like in real life.

You can purchase selected photos of mine at mylatehope.imagekind.com.

Created using my Holga 120CFN with 21 year expired Kodak Ektachrome 200 slide film, cross processed with C41. Negative scanned with my Epson v700 Perfection scanner. No digital manipulation used!

In the story Are Child's Eyes Made of Plastic?.

Very cool. I love that you scan real, live pics! I just got a scanner and am putting up some old pics from my old Hasselblad and Mamiya on my page now - what a great combination - non-digital scanned into digital! Keep up the effort - it is true photography!

It takes me back to the county fair days when I was 10 or so. I like old photographs and those that give me a glimpse of what was. It was a novelty to see yourself on TV then. You are a great photographer, Paul.
