CarmEmily » Photo Album http://carmemily.com Carmen and Emily started this blog to commemorate their long standing friendship. In February 2010 Emily joined the Navy and hasn't had reliable internet since. While Carmen wistfully awaits contact she has decided to only post pictures of the sky until Emily's return.

For future reference, you can always identify a bona fide Northern California drag queen by the pit hair and choice of footwear.

You will like it!

(i did not take this pic btw)

I just received this picture from my family’s geneologist.  I guess my family (quite a few generations ago) bought a bar and cafe when they moved to California from Colorado.  Behind the bar is my great great great Aunt Catherine.  Pretty nice eh?

I was testing how close it could focus, and how well it would capture shades of white, two things my last camera did not do very well at all.

I did a bit of image editing to try to make it look old. (It already looked old because the original picture was taken in 1998 with a camera that was made in 1972, so I decided to try and enhance the sort of gritty and deteriorated look rather than hide it.)

That was a LOT of scanning, but I am very happy with my new slide scanner. An unexpected bonus: all the tutorial videos are narrated in an incomprehensibley thick German accent, and you know how I feel about German engineering.
