He just had to be in the picture (A major disappointment)

So I was taking this small gate of one of my neighbors, and this kid just sped through, which is just as well, the version without him had absolutely nothing going for it.

You'll just have to get used to these pics. I haven't been doing anything else lately but take pictures and scanning them, so if I don't write to you about them, I've got nothing else to write about.

Oh yeah, major disappointment yesterday. I did this competition piece for a furniture design. I finished it yesterday, after about two weeks on picking on the details. Surprise, surprise, when I went to the DHL center they told me they don't have overnight delivery. HA! I shoved my entry in the bottom drawer.

The serial scanner

I think I've become a serial scanner. Encouraged by yesterday's photo, I decided to dig up other films. This one is the film version of a digital image that you've seen before, from the Malt Whiskey Society of Edinburg, in Scottland.

I went coo coo when I discovered that the lab where I took the film (in London, close to where we used to live) messed up the whole roll. It had more speckles and scratches than a silent movie, and I had to spend so much time to repair it. In the end though, it was worth it. I'm thinking of having it printed poster size. The film is in medium format, there's enough detail in it.

P.S.
This is what the Flickr people has to say about the photo.

Cross processing

Something new today. I decided to have a roll of film cross processed, one I took same day as the Erlangen canal ones. It came out very greenish, but there's something about this screwed up colors that I like a lot. I'd almost say it's got a retro feel to it, like those 70's photos, but in green instead of magenta. Anyway, it's the best image of Erlangen that I've taken so far.
