Riding the Rails

Ever since I can remember I have been fascinated by trains and dreamt of riding the rails. My father took this photo of me shortly before boarding the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railway on a day excursion into the beautiful San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado long, long ago.

This photo was taken by a Kodak Duaflex II film camera with a f/8 Kodar triplet lens using 620 black and white Kodak film, the print scanned by a HP Scanjet G4050.

Great family photo - it's always enjoyable to me to be able to see other people's family pictures. And it's pretty sharp for that Kodar lens! I have a Kodak Duaflex II, but with the Kodet lens - not near as sharp as yours.

Besides inheriting a treasure trove of family photos taken by my father, I also assumed the title of family photographer for my generation. Some day my children will be as intrigued by the photos I leave behind as I am when I see myself caught in that moment of time so long ago.
