Okay, so I’ve been in a picture taking slump for the last year or so. I’ve lived in Virginia for exactly one year and one week, and I’ve taken exactly four rolls of film–two b&w, and two c-41. That’s totally cold turkey for me. But, this going to work everyday thing, it does cramp my search for good light–mostly because I’m too beat to get up at the crack of dawn and go out into the world.
At anyrate, two of the rolls of film were taken in New Mexico in March at the Sandia Mountain between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The one that I’ve included here is of a kiva at the Coronado State Museum–the spot where Coronado wintered in 1540 on the ruins of the Anasazi Pueblo. Of course this isn’t actually an original kiva, but rather, one recreated so that tourists can get a feel for the style. Aren’t state museums great?
You’ll notice a very faint stripe in the image–a thin vertical burn toward the left edge of the image. Let’s hope that that is something with the print and not the scanner or the camera, ’cause I don’t particularly relish replacing either one of them….
So, hopefully, there will be more soon–once I learn how to use the negative scanner at work, since I didn’t get prints of the black and white.
