Thirty-eight years ago

We were married almost four years when I took this picture of my wife. I have another taken a few minutes before or after with her fists up pugilistically. :)

Today, 38 years later, her hair-dresser asked for a picture of what her hair looked like years ago. So I looked for one and decided this might be it. But its scan was terrible -- one of the first negatives I scanned when I was learning how (about fifteen years ago). So I rescanned it this afternoon.

The film was not an especially fast film, but it's pretty uhh lossy. I think it may have lost some details in the highlights over the years. Mind you, I was using my Minolta X370 with its (cheap) MD f/2.8 50mm lens, a lens I came to hate in later years for its lack of detail and contrast. Oh well. It's still a nice picture.
