I took this about 20 years ago while I was in Chicago. I'd post more but all my old street photos are 11x14 and my poor scanner can't scan those. The reason I'm posting these is in honor of me putting a bid on a Canon Canonet on ebay to get me back into 35mm. I gotta thank Paul Shelasky for giving me some great info on vintage 35mm view finder cameras.
I don't know what it is but I'm just feeling this pull to get out and connect with people in my photos. I don't know if anyone noticed but they have been devoid of people except for the odd shot of my kid.
I've got to say, writing that sentence about being in Chicago 20 years ago kind of took my breath away. I know that I'm 43 and I know it's been a long time since I lived in Chicago. But actually seeing 20 really made it sink in how long it's been.
So I'm getting the Canon soon and I'll start shooting and make sure I've not totally flipped my wig regarding this turn towards the little negatives. If all goes well I might spring for the Contax G1--the price is quite reasonable right now for such a great camera.
Do they still make single weight paper. A lot of my 11x14s from 20 years ago are on single weight and it's pretty nice. I know Kodak AZO is single weight, but I wonder if regular enlarging paper still is.
