About Good times, as the mighty Chic once sang... years ago. This photo was taken years ago... it's a scan of a 12 year old print... a scratched, filthy, fading old print. Digital trickery could make it seem all new and 'nice', but what the hell is the point in that? I love the imperfections of age, the telling signs that things have changed, that time is creeping inexorably onward... the past is a cracked, dirty old mirror reflecting back all kinds of memories, and that's how it should remain...

Good on ya Patrick. Great shot with all the sentiment of your title potrayed for all to see. I love the natural wysiwyg of this photo. Not enough of this on this site. I am so tired of digitally enhanced pictures of mutton, made to look like lamb. It's time we learne to take good pictures, not produce them on a computer. Nice work fella, sorry about the soap box sermon!

Good to have you on board, Comrade! Keep it raw (that's not Camera RAW, technophiles...), keep it real, keep it honest! GIVE ME SCRATCHES! GIVE ME DIRT! GIVE ME SOMETHING REAL GODAMMIT!

O my brother. Us vecks we need to be real beezoomy and smeck at the digital vecks, all over our gullivers. All the veshch's we feel for film will come true, o my brother.

LOL! You write like a cross between Edward Lear, Charles Bukowski and the brothers Grimm! I am laughing from the gut. Hmm... I am of the opinion that digital and film both have their merits, but since I got my Leica I am firmly swinging in the direction of film again. Gradually more and more of my work will be taken with the beautiful old machine that is the M3... it has a tender soul that the 5D just doesn't have.

My comments are stolen from the great Anthony Burgess. (re Clockwork orange). But the sentiment remains the same, O my brother!

I agree with both of you brothers, not sure about overdoing the scratches, though..
Regards, Gary.

Gary, we are fghting a good fight. The proletariat are against us. But with a good wind my brother, we will smell the emulsion and stamp on the sensors. I love the smell of HP5 in the morning.....
