Before apps

Long before telephones fit in shirt pockets, before there was an app

for what ails ya photographically, we photo nerds used bottles and

glasses and what-not for odd effects. I don't remember what I used

to take this picture of my wife coming in from the garden in April

1987 but, on scanning the negative this evening, I liked it right

away.



In PSP, I cropt away the two sides and a little of the bottom where

there was just grey grain, and built the border around it.



The film was Kodak VRG-100 (CA100) shot in a Contax 139 I had borrowed

from work. I was probably using the Yashica 50mm lens we used at work

for that Contax camera. And of course there was a glass or bottle of

some sort in front of it.
