A couple of previous blog entries about shooting with film when I was much younger in the last century included Black and White film images including one, Black Diamonds, that joked about the time before the world was in color!
At the time I knew there were color images, because of film diary notes, but for the life of me I couldn't find them. The files where they should have been stored didn't contain them. They were misplaced and finally here this past month (really September '09) I finally ran across them and so without further ado, here is some of the first Kodachrome I ever shot on my own for what I wanted to shoot.

Grandpa was off thumping the melons (see Black Diamond entry) in these two from the Morgan Hilltop market.
The light bulbs are supposed to be that yellow by the way, they are bug lights!
But it was the same weekend as the melon trip as it was the same roll! The B/W image from a Photo Everyone Takes didn't have notes specifically with it, but now I know when it was taken from the color work!!
Ain't the good ole days grand. Just for the record, my father in law used to grow a lot of the Black Diamonds (about 20 years ago) I remember he used to go sit in the pasture with a shotgun in order to protect them from the crows. I do remember his talking about Black Diamonds tho. dana
