Jenny Lake and the Grand Tetons

I took this photograph on Kodak Pan-x 100ISO 120 film using my 1937 Zeiss Ikon.   This is Jenny Lake with the Grand Tetons rising up in the background.   The film was purchased at a used camera store in Seattle, so it is unknown how old it was.   In this roll of film, there is clearly repetitive fogging in all of the photographs.    This may be how I processed the film - it has only been 20 years since I last developed B/W negatives, or it is an artifact from the age of the film.   I recently purchased two new rolls of Ilford Delta 100 to try and I still have three more rolls from the Yellowstone - Grand Tetons trip to develop.

Yamaha FJ1200 #2

This first photograph (don't ask me how I took this with my SLR) I took on the way down to San Francisco. There are only two photographs of me anywhere near my bike, and I took both of them.  This first in Northern California on I-5 and the one below.    The second photograph I have a bad case of helmet head.  I'd stopped on the side of the road to take a break on my trip back to Seattle - couldn't tell you where I was.

Summer of 1985

Another photograph retrieved from box of archived negatives.  I took this photograph in 1985 in Portland, Oregon of a local "new wave" band whose name has been lost in my memory.   It was taken with Fuji HR100 speed film using a Contax with a 50mm lens.   My first and last foray into concert photography.   I just remember that I really enjoyed this band, just wish I could remember their name.

Rowing - Husky Crew 1986

I took these photographs in 1986 during a regatta sponsored by the University of Washington as the race came through the Montlake cut.    The negatives remained stored for twenty years after I retired my dark room equipment to a storage box.    Only recently upon the purchase of a mid-level scanner was I able to record these negatives digitally at a sufficient resolution for reproduction.

Old Black & White

While going through my old dark room equipment to inventory what had survived the past twenty years since it was last used, I found this photograph of Raquel I'd taken on the Olympic Peninsula in 1986.   Now if I could only locate the original negatives.

Mount St. Helens - 1980

I was fourteen years old, camping about 30 miles south of Mount St. Helens the day it erupted in May 18, 1981.     The Silver Star district camporee in Columbia Pacific Council (now Cascade Pacific Council), was winding down so my father took me up to Larch Mountain to view the eruption.   It was amazing how much ash was in the air, although at that time the ash had yet to hit us.   That would come the next day as our home became blanketed in it.    It is too bad I didn't think to take a photograph of Mount Hood for contrast so that you can see how the ash masked the details of the mountain.   Armed with a Leica flex and 55 mm lens, I took this photograph.    Unfortunately the negatives have been lost to time.   At fourteen, I wasn't as organized with my negatives and photographs as I am now, although some negatives have survived from those days, not the ones I find important today.   I scanned this photograph on a Microtek scanner and despite by thorough cleaning of the glass plate, dust was still visible in the scanned result.   So, with a little clean-up, here is the scanned result.
