old photos closer to home

July 1983:

I scanned another roll of grandpa’s C-41 today. These ones are from the same trip, and according to the envelope scroll include:

1. Taos
2. Bandelier
3. Rio Grande
4. Los Alamos

Los Alamos

The pond is named after someone named Ashley Pond (I kid you not)

Taos

Rio Grande Gorge

Bandelier

Apparently grandpa took a picture of pretty much every place that we stayed
on this trip. Sort of mundane in a way, but I enjoy how everything looks just
a little bit different by being 80s.

not entirely sure where these are from...

These were taken before the last set that I posted. They are all in New Mexico, closer to the area where I actually grew up. Although, again, this was long before we had any idea that we’d be moving out there. I had to spot more of these than from the last set, although the majority were completely clean! Some of them had some paper glued to the edges, put there probably by whomever had processed the film. I hate it when places do that because it is not good for the long term storage of the film.

Grandpa was a good photographer. There isn’t a single frame that is out of focus or incorrectly exposed, and the compositions are good.
