Steve - 1992
Steve and I roomed together my sophomore year at
William & Mary, and were more or less inseparable afterwards for a couple of
years.
This shot was taken on the
roof/balcony of the group house on Randolph Street in Arlington, VA that we
shared with Gordon and Lisa.... That's not because of the Christmas lights (who
needs a special occasion for those?), but because of the surrounding shots on
the roll.
...This one was shot on
plain-old Kodak Gold 400 color negative film, and I am not 100% satisfied with
the scan and post-processing. I recall using a bounce flash off the side of the
house, with a slow shutter speed to try to pull in a little ambient
illumination.... I might try it again, but there are too many negatives and too
little time.

this I took this in December, 1992. That's not because of the Christmas lights

started shooting professionally.This

right amount of sharpening. I might try it again, but there are too many
negatives and too little time. . . .
