Truly like paintings, almost hyperrealistic! Just wonderful. (I wonder whether Polaroids keep loosing colour, like printed photos from the 60s and 70s. One should digitilize the best of them, bits also fade, but much slower than molecules.)

I keep the originals in the dark, in a box. And yes, a goal is to digitize all the good ones!

What memories you have preserved with your darling daughter and Clark’s bicycle accident. Before cell phones I took many photos of my three children. My daughter has taken it upon herself to put them in some sort of order. It seems like it would be simpler to just take out your phone and snap a picture, but I keep forgetting to use it.

Something about an image on paper makes it feel more real than the images on my phone. I have many of both. Thanks for reading!

Professionally I used SX-70 film with some of my corporate clients like Stag’s Leap in Napa Valley. I would take the original photograph with a 35mm Nikon then projected it onto SX-70 film and used a heating pad to keep the emulsion soft while I manipulated it with different tools. It was fun and challenging.

Not sure how to post a jpeg here, but one of the SX-70 photos I included in my Maya Blue Cover Memo to you. It's a woman walking past an arched open doorway.
