Five sibs

Five sibs
Six sibs, including me behind the camera. We were in the Court House
for some business related to the continuing estate of our mother who
died seven years ago. There are eight of us in total; two live
elsewhere.

When I saw us all, the six of us, going down the stairs at the Court
House, I wished I'd brought a better camera than the Minox 35GT. But
I knew it would make a good exposure, despite being a long one what
with 100-speed film (Fujicolor, expired in 2011) and the f/2.8 lens. I
don't remember exactly how long the exposure was, probably something
over a half second, and the camera could not be jammed very solidly
against the roundish railing I held it against. There's a lot of
camera shake in a half second.

A better scan than the quarter-meg one I got at a WalMart I don't
usually go to might bring a better picture. It was a pretty unsharp
negative, pretty rough scanning, and pretty high contrast, so I
converted it to b&w.

Ah! Now I have a second-rate picture with first-rate memories. You would only have the memories. :)
I *have* always liked pictures that have something wrong with them.

Thanks, Mark.
Giuseppe, that's why I could never try to be a professional photographer -- I haven't got the patience to work with proper equipment! And of course the clients would never be as forgiving (appreciative?) as I am of my own mistakes. :)
