I was able to develop a few of my photos in the darkroom at Santa Chiara but was never able to address all 72 of my lovelies. After seeing this post on scanning negatives with a homemade adapter on TrueBlueMe&You, it was time to try and appease these long lost memories from Italia.
Although the adapter didn't work, I found that scanning them straight worked alright. I've scanned and edited about 5 strips of film so far. These scanned versions will never live up to their developed potential, but for the time being I can flip through them and relive bits and pieces of last year.
There is something really really haunting and compelling about these Chelsea... They have a quietness to them, i think. Awesome idea :)
ReplyDeleteI really love how ghostly they are. I hate that I can't get a quality scan of all of them but I really love how some of these are turning out so far. Thanks Ali-chay!
