Sometimes

Sometimes I can look at somebody and try to imagine what they’re thinking. If you can envision sitting on a beach and contemplating life as you wait to go out and hit the waves on your boogie board that’s your projection.

Who is this? Where does he come from? Could that be me? Could that be you?

I Had a Dream About Kodachrome Last Night

What a crazy dream! I dreamt somebody gave me a brick of unexpired Kodachrome 25 all neatly shrinked- wrapped, keeping the smooth red and yellow boxes in place.

Wow, I couldn’t believe my good fortune. And then I remember thinking: If I pulled out my old Nikon equipment and went on a lovely trip with tris legendary film, just where in the hell would I get it developed?

In reality I think I shot my last roll somewhere around 1983 if memory serves me right. I worked on an assignment about Cutting Horses in Texas.

There was something about the look of the film that entranced me. Edgy, contrast, not subtle. Super high dynamic range. The only film that I currently use that has similar visual qualities might be Kodak Ektar. This is a negative film with a bit of a punch. But still doesn't have the feel of Kodachrome.
