This picture is dedicated to the Kellys, the both of them. Both, for Kelly is my co-worker who married a woman named also named Kelly. They could only be distinguished by their middle initial as both of their last names begun with F. Ah, the Kellys. Here's to ya!

Recently, my Minolta 7d had to be sent in for a warranty repair. It seems that it was conquered by the humidity of Japan and the AS system kept failing to initialize and thus rendering the camera into a very expensive hunk of plastic, glass, and medal.

Luckily the camera is now fixed. While it was away, I had the urge to get out the film camera again. I took it along to Milwaukee and shot this picture out of the passenger side of the car.

I shot on Provia 100 and had it cross-processed and scanned at Walgreen's—I love how they don't notice that it's E-6 process! The poor girl thought that she ruined my photos. I cleaned up the scan and cropped the image and this is the result.

These are great, Jordan! I love all those blues! Do you think you'll expriment with cross-processing more?

Lara,



Thanks for the compliments!



Eventually I think I'll give the cross-processing another go; but for now I'm pretty satisfied with what I've got.



I think I may get out my enlarger again and do some of my own processing this winter. It's been such a long time since I've stunk of chemicals!

Your Minolta 7D malfunction in humid weather isn't the first one I've seen. They need to seal the electronics of these cameras better against such moisture-related problems.
