My parents in 1987

This was July 1987 and, when I stopt by at my parents' house, Dad
wanted to show me some things in the garden. Mom came out on the
gallery to watch.

Here, he is showing me some dandelion leaves. He loved all things
dandelion, and even grew it in the window during the winter. His pet
theory was that taraxacum repaired the myelin in nerve and brain-cell
walls and thus kept its eaters more brain-healthy. My mother was a
little sceptical. But he always had some dandelion soup going in a
pot on the stove.

These were two adjacent frames of Kodak TMY, a.k.a. T-Max 400, the
1980s attempt by Kodak to make a replacement for Tri-X. TMY wasn't
bad, and in fact it had finer grain characteristics, but it was never
as good as Tri-X.
