I have recently started to scan my old negatives and slides from the pre-digital camera time. I remember the times when every frame counted because well, we only had a limited number of frames in the film.
I remember the excitement of seeing the images after however time it took to finish the roll, to develop it and to print it. It was magical in so many ways. I loved the anticipation and the element of surprise.
These images above are from a trip to Stonehenge and as the scans appeared I reconnected the whole magic of being there. Images link us to smells, feelings, and tastes from the time the image was taken.
Another reason why I love photography.

Old negatives and prints are full of magic. Each year I go back to Paris, I bring back a bunch of old negatives and slides to scan. And Bam! Time-Space travel. They take you back. Magic.
Ah, I did that a few years back. I am tempted to do it again, with a better resolution
