This is probably one of the oldest prints I have that I made probably around 1967-68. My first experiments with photography were done using old 40's era Argus equipment, a 35mm camera, and a printer that enlarged a print to about 2x3 inches. Primitive to say the least. I wonder if I still have this negative. It might make a fairly interesting print. I wish the scan could bring out the light silver sheen a residue from a patina of unfixed silver that shows up in real old photographs that were processed in less then archival processes. I'm glad I held on to it all this time.
