Nope, you haven't come to the wrong place, it's just a colour print from back in the day:
A little dark this one but that's me on the right talking to some dude from the RAV/Nikon stand. I've no idea where this was, although it might have been the photographic shop The Brother worked in as a Saturday job for a while. I worked in a different photographic shop on the other side of town, by the way. I was probably drooling over a F2AS or something - still a camera worth drooling over, of course. Way, way beyond my budget and the guy probably knew that but he still seems to giving me some of his time anyway.
Both The Brother and I did colour for a while - The Brother was more into his Cibachrome (prints from slides) while I was more into printing from colour negatives. The output from the Cibachrome process seemed to be a lot better quality than my efforts - that I do recall.
I've been a bit brief with my posts recently as I'm not here - I'm in Bath, at the old Mineral Water Hospital getting some intensive physiotherapy and hydrotherapy for a couple of weeks. The Min as it is affectionately known in Bath, is a centre for the diagnosis and treatment for ankylosing spondylitis and while it's tough being away from the family for so long it really does help me manage the disease. It has a fascinating history, The Min - sited just up from the Roman Baths in the centre of Bath and opened in the early 18th Century. You can read more about it here.
Fun to see an image of your visage from back when. Hope the treatments in Bath soothe and restore you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim - it's tough going at times but as the saying goes, No pain, no gain :)
DeleteI hope you're feeling better soon. I learned a bit about Bath from my Latin textbooks. If you feel bored while taking the treatment you can write curses on lead sheets and toss them into the water.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marcus. You are right about the curses - they have quite a few on show in the Roman Baths. I remember one was written by someone who had their property stolen and he was pretty angry about it :)
DeleteFlippin' heck, I really jumped in the chair over here. Not the usual sight to see colors in here, as you most rightfully pointing your finger at.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're back home from Bath by now, and I also hope the time down and over there was well spent after all. And being away from family for long periods of time is not the best of situations at all. I know.
I know - I shouldn't really do it :) Back home now, Roy and yup, feeling better for it. Might even get some films developed some day soon and have something new to show.
