One of my winter projects was to convert some old slides and negatives to digital. Winter is over but I’m far from done. I soon realized that it was an impossible task to digitize everything so I decided to work on the material I liked best. In the selection process I asked myself if I would shoot that image today, since I know my tastes have changed quite a bit since some of these old shot were taken. There is obviously a lot of stuff that is not scan-worthy but this image is one of my favorites. A print of this has been hanging in our house for more than 20 years and I still like it. It was taken in downtown Rochester and was a sign over an old movie theater that had shown it’s last movie years earlier. It’s long gone now but I still have this slide.
