Some super old slides...

Recently went back through some of my college stuff... Memory lane can be a very fun place to peruse every so often and this time was no exception.  I had taken a photography based study abroad program in New Zealand my Junior year and I took waaaaaaay too many photos to deal with at the time.  I pulled a couple really good ones out for my "show" and then boxed em up and put them in the closet.  Well now having a decent scanner an intern and more powerful editing software I've been able to digitize them and catalog them into my archive properly.  Here's a couple "weird" landscapes that I passed over the first time but have since rediscovered.

And to give you an idea of just how old these are... they were shot on Fuji Velvia 50!!  Arguably the best slide film ever created and subsequently discontinued.  Velvia 50 first came into the limelight as the "go-to" film for National Geographic photographers all over the world because of its unprecedented color accuracy and lack of grain.  I was introduced to the stuff during an internship with Robb Kendrick, a national geographic shooter for over 20 years, in 2002.  When I heard it was going to be discontinued I purchased some 20 cases of the stuff and have it stored in it's own little fridge behind my desk... where there may or may not be a case of PBR's as well. HA!
