People forget we are all more alike than different, uh? I took a lot of philosophy in college, so much even though I was an engineering student because I found it deeply profound, and it really opened my eyes. I still study it often today, which just makes me great conversation at parties... er...
Basically, someone else has already figured out wtf was wrong or right or confused or straight about us long ago, and we just keep making the same mistakes over and over and over. And people use a lot of what they already figured out about how we tick to maniplate us over and over and over. Amazing how just a bit of knowledge instills a good amout of wisdom and prescience. If you think you know all of what's goin on, you probably don't really know what's goin on. For the record, I'm a big fan of Aristotle and his idea of virtue.
Regarding the film:
That is a scan of the color negative. Fuji 400 if I recall. I generally shot with slides back when, but I think I ran out of film when I was in Ireland that time(as you would). So I bought local stuff.
So it's a scan of the negative in to a computer back in 1998 ish. But not edited much at all. In fact, if I could find that negative now, I could scan it in much higher resolution and edit it; I lost all of them in a flood in Texas in 2003 or so, whenever Allison hit.
This is what it looks like before any editing when you scanned the negatives back when:
ANd slide film from about the same time. I was fond of Astia and Reala.
And when scanning goes wrong:
That looks like it was trying to be the rodeo arena in FT Worth Stockyards.
