I\u2019m beginning to organize my slide files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last 40+ years, I have made tens of thousands of slides, while embracing conflicting theories of photographic organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I am attempting to consolidate and organize my slide files. In one tub of original boxes, I found a box (one of several) mis-labeled \u2018Conrail, Rochester, April 1987, Ektachrome\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a \u2018free\u2019 roll of film, given to me as part of photo package from Kodak to students at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Free. No cost to me. At a time when I could barely afford two rolls of Kodachrome a week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there was a problem. Giving Ektachrome to a Kodachrome shooter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took the film, and I made photos with it. Nothing urgent. Nothing serious. Nothing so important that I\u2019d commit it to Kodachrome.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A more serious problem manifested when I searched for the note sheet that goes with the roll of film. The box said &#8216;April 1987&#8217;, but in fact the photos were exposed on March 11, 1987. I should have known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"323\" data-attachment-id=\"34973\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/classic-chrome-conrail-april-1987\/conrail_boxcar_pan_rochester_ny_april-1987_ektachrome_briansolomon2022_203510\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Conrail_boxcar_pan_Rochester_NY_April-1987_Ektachrome_BrianSolomon\u00a92022_203510.jpg?fit=1500%2C1021\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1021\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9Brian_Solomon&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Conrail_boxcar_pan_Rochester_NY_April-1987_Ektachrome_BrianSolomon\u00a92022_203510\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Conrail_boxcar_pan_Rochester_NY_April-1987_Ektachrome_BrianSolomon\u00a92022_203510.jpg?fit=709%2C483\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Conrail_boxcar_pan_Rochester_NY_April-1987_Ektachrome_BrianSolomon\u00a92022_203510.jpg?fit=474%2C323\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Conrail_boxcar_pan_Rochester_NY_April-1987_Ektachrome_BrianSolomon\u00a92022_203510.jpg?resize=474%2C323\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Conrail_boxcar_pan_Rochester_NY_April-1987_Ektachrome_BrianSolomon\u00a92022_203510.jpg?w=1500 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Conrail_boxcar_pan_Rochester_NY_April-1987_Ektachrome_BrianSolomon\u00a92022_203510.jpg?resize=709%2C483 709w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Conrail_boxcar_pan_Rochester_NY_April-1987_Ektachrome_BrianSolomon\u00a92022_203510.jpg?resize=1022%2C696 1022w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Conrail_boxcar_pan_Rochester_NY_April-1987_Ektachrome_BrianSolomon\u00a92022_203510.jpg?resize=205%2C140 205w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Conrail_boxcar_pan_Rochester_NY_April-1987_Ektachrome_BrianSolomon\u00a92022_203510.jpg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Conrail_boxcar_pan_Rochester_NY_April-1987_Ektachrome_BrianSolomon\u00a92022_203510.jpg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Eastward Conrail freight captured at Lincoln Park with a Leica 3A and 65mm lens on EN100 Ektachrome slide film at noon on March 11, 1987.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take me back to 1987!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish I\u2019d had more free Ektachrome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#854025\"><strong>Tracking the Light Posts Every Day!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was a \u2018free\u2019 roll of film, given to me as part of photo package from Kodak to students at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
