Last year for Christmas, my father sent me an Amazon gift card to buy some film. With this I ordered a single roll of Velvia 50\u2014which can be a difficult commodity to find these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometime in January, a package arrived from Japan with my one roll of film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saved this for just the right time and exposed it in October, making 36 carefully composed photos using a Nikon F3, mostly with my f2.0 35mm AF Nikkor lens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Molino, Pa., on October 18th, I made these three photos of Reading & Northern’s RDCs on their way from Pottsville to Jim Thorpe. I scanned the slides with a Nikon Coolscan LS5000. I’ve presented the uncropped scans below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a lot more to it than that, but let’s just say I’m happy I made these images, and sorry that I can’t share them with Pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
