I was recently forced to clean out a metal locker that stored all my third level off site back up's. These are mostly DVD's, CD's and 3.5 drives in storage cases that I keep at my studio. I have am one issue out there and the mice got into the locker and made a mess, lets leave it at that. In cleaning out the locker I found really old back up's and some CD's from 2001. I decided to spin up some of the drives to see if they are still readable and check the CD's as well. This image was taken in 2001 with a Kodak 14N, a 13 MP camera that at the time sold for $5,000. I reopened the files with PS 26.1 and did a lot of work on them, mostly noise reduction, but they are a far cry from what we're using now.
This is my third blog, and this one will more generally address my photography and not include either the self portrait project or the work from my trips to Italy.

Reexamining old files-we've come a long way
