Something Old

Lately, I've been scanning and posting to my Flickr Account photographs I took during the summer of 1985 when I studied in La Rochelle, France with the University of Richmond.

My wife has a UMAX professional scanner, but I'm doing these on our Canon printer because I kind of like the old-school look that they have. Makes you feel like you are watching slides of your uncle's vacation pictures.

Lately, mostly after my (shudder) 25th high school reunion, I've been trying to catch up with old friends I haven't seen in a long time, or talked to in ages. I have only kept in touch with one person I went to France with, Peter Kirkpatrick, and keeping-in-touch is probably not the right way to describe talking every several years. Sadly, the couple I stayed with have split up. But I would like to get back and see them some time.

Oh and dig the mid 80s hair.
