I've found that HQ negative scans allow me to really work in Photoshop at huge resolutions. It would cut down on that hot spot on her leg. The print scan shows just how rich the color palette of the film was. Great skin tones without too much red while still giving a nice, solid green for the grass.

I appreciate the tips. The negative scan was fairly low resolution by an amateur lab. I really should go back and re-scan it with my equipment. Don't have much free time however. I think the film was Fuji NPS, which controlled high contrast situations very well.

Good question. We've allowed them to go their own ways at too-young an age. By the time they've become young teens, they've already seen, heard and done everything, and it shows on their faces before they even hit 20.

Very cute boy. Love to think he grew a long tail (rat-tail) when they were popular in the 80's. Become my favorite hairstyle seeing a boy with that long strip of hair down his back. The longer it grew the better looking it would be. I knew one boy that grew his tail so long that the end of it would curl on the seat when he sat down in a chair. Good looking boy too.

He passed away in the early 90's from a heartattack when swimming laps at the York Y pool. He was the coach of a another coach, Greg , and grandfather to two of the kids in this album - Stephanie and Petey Williams. Life goes on!
