FOUND PHOTOS 2005

Selected from an abandoned photo album found in 2005 along the train 
tracks in Albany, CA. The photos in the album were heavily soiled, 
scratched, faded, waterlogged, sun-damaged, nature-infiltrated, etc. 
The content of the photos appeared to be that of a dog show. I 
performed some cropping and minimal digital processing on the photos, 
mainly to enhance what was already there.


I’ve made high-quality prints from these works, which range from 8x10” 
to 12x18”. The original size for all photos was 3x5”.

Thanks all!

The biggest problem with scanning these is that they are so warped I really had to load on the weight to get them flat.

I wish I knew what was done to these photos to cause the emulsion to be so tattered. I frankly don’t think I could reproduce the effect if I tried. Viva la nature!
