Music Box Theatre, Chicago and it's 'time' for a new Star Trek

| | Comments (0)
Chicago in the news - I lived ,to the right, of the Music Box Theatre - 3nd floor, not quite butt up against the Music Box wall - one apartment away.  Lived there in the 60's - bicycles in the rear basement, a few motorcycle's too - one was a Benelli purchased at Sears. Popcorn and memories evoked with the visit of Gary Lockwood to the Theatre.

Watched the  New Star Trek movie  last night May 7, 2009 at the "Hollywood Theaters - Stadium 14" in Laredo, Texas.  'Time' is the key.  It was very nice.

It's a good thing to see both sides - a simplistic statement, but true.  Facebook - Can you take it or leave it?  I'd say (after all, it's my blog,) that social interaction is beneficial.  I'm there, I don't hang around much, but, I do add something, once and a while.  The article Do You Own Facebook? Or Does Facebook Own You? Trust is a fragile commodity. By Vanessa Grigoriadis is a good read.

On the road to Hot Springs

New project - just started - found in a family steamer trunk. Hot Springs

The photo album totals thirty-three pages, two photos to a page, with both sides being used towards the end of the album.  On each page of two pictures the corresponding negatives are tucked beneath.  The film type is 116 - which is slightly larger than 120 - medium format.  The camera is unknown.  Using an Epson Perfection™ V700 Photo scanner, each page of photos are scanned at 24 bit color 600DPI.  The negatives are scanned at 8 bit grayscale (b&w) 2400 DPI.  Each new image is loosely cropped, saved as a TIFF, finally resized and saved as a JPG.  Scans are not retouched (Photoshop.)  Each picture takes up about 100MB TIFF, each negative around 50MB as a TIFF, less than 1MB as a JPG.

What's been keeping you (me) so busy?  Attitude, latitude, longitude...  If you concentrate really hard you might notice that the bike parts are in black & white.  Film Photography: I have the chemicals on the kitchen table.  Rolls to develop on the dresser. click & scroll.
