empallinok which one of you is the expet on digital photo image touch up. flash glare and negative artifact removal are the two current issues at hand. i know on the dust negative artifacts i need to clean the negative and what i really need to do is take all of these 620 negatives to a professional since they are family history. but that place is expensive and i what full prints that include the full negatives. then i have to make the rest of what i need - digital copies and slides.
the real trick will be finding someone who has the nerve to prints from a 8mm spool that is already too brittle. it is such a beautiful film that i am at some point do a 8 to dv8 to dvd conversion. but the prints have to be straight from the spool because of the loss of quality in doing the convesion. i love this one because it is a double date film in okc in what i belive is the 40's. i love amatuer 8 films but they are so hard to find and tend to be overpriced when they are found. but then they are one of kinds that often feature bits is history/life that you usually dont see.
i am sure i have said it before but i still think it is funny. because of my love for this type of thing is why i thought it was so great when i lived next door to mark zero. what with him being what amounts to an expert in the local world of films at the time due to work at and for various raves. anytime i would ask a place for information or supplies concering film three names kept being used a good source but never in any particular order. eppersons the flaming lips and mark zero - to all of which i would politely acknowledge but internally laugh hardily at. been there done that. eppersons was only good for one thin and that was human in nature. the other two were only ever good for information on 16mm information because that is what they dealt with.

dammit i missed riotfest ticket sales. i really hope some nice person has already secured me atlest one ticket if not two. aw crap i dont even know whose going to the show. i just know that i was contacted from two different directions with the same message. you really have to be there. so i guess i do. ill email them for ticket(s) next week and see how that goes.
the best part is that if i go i will be taking a 2600 with me. let me sisters kids mock me for my horrible on this one. but i really need to find the right cart. the only two i currently have are pac-man and asteroids which they will so kick my ass at. nevermind the fact they would be playing with equiptment that is older than any of them. i really should make them figure out how to hook it up to the new modern typew of tv. if they cant i win by default.
