I found some old paper prints, taken sometime in 1985. Scanned with my cheap HP Deskjet F4580.

Appearently I was keen on Irving Penn´s still-lifes then. Smile

#1. From series "Rust Never Sleeps". Kodak Pan X film, developed in Rodinal.

Thank You guys.

Back then, after graduating, and the compulsory military service, I was unemployed a few months. My girlfriend left for work every morning, and I had only time, a Nikon FE, 55 mm Micro-Nikkor, 28 and 135 mm lenses. Enough money for a few rolls of B&W film, a good library with Ansel Adams et al books and a communal darkroom (for free) near where I lived.

Then I got some work, and a house, and kids, and every day had only 24 hours...I´m sure that you know what I´m talking about.
