The kitchen table, scanning it all

When the field seasons stopped, the scanning started. Eleven thousand slides, one at a time, at the kitchen table, with the kettle on. This tray is the room where the rest of the trays were made.

Since 2010

Kitchen 01
Kitchen 02 The slide boxes and the old camera, sorted by year
Kitchen 03 A frame under the loupe, the way every slide was checked
Kitchen 04 The rolls and the light meter, the kit from 1982
Kitchen 05 Kodachrome negatives on the light box, the color still there
Kitchen 06 The projector, cleaned and running, the front room ready
Kitchen 07 The film hanging to dry after a re-wash, a bad year
Kitchen 08 The old projector with a slide in the gate, showing night
Kitchen 09 The yellow boxes, the way the slides came back from the lab
Kitchen 10 A slide held up to the window, the way I still check them
Kitchen 11 Film strips on the light table, the last box to do
