My parents in 1987

06 Dec 2017 1 2 48
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.
