Christa and I were married on June 11th 1995 in the gardens of a place that no
longer exists at the hart of the scenic Main Street St. Charles, MO known for
its French architecture and touristy shops. The wedding was perfect, I brought
her in a horse carriage followed by a long procession of cars carrying the
guest. Most of all, we had the perfect weather.
Normally, Junes in Missouri are characterized by high temperatures and
oppressive humidity. None of that was present and we had the perfect light for
outdoor wedding as there was a slight overcast gently scattering the light.
Our photographer was an older gentleman with a TLR. To our annoyance he was
very good at what he did. Both of us are camera shy, but he knew what everyone
would want to take away from this wedding and pushed his way through to deliver.
My wife just got back from visiting her mother, the first time around since the
passing away of my father-in-law on the day after Christmas. She brought the
most special gift ever: Our wedding negatives. The photographer was not only
alive, but he also remembered our wedding.
I am working on a setup for scanning the negatives. My co-worker, the one that
sits next to me, who also is one of the biggest Olympus fans, let me borrow his
light table. The plan is to scan (aka utilize the 24mp of the A65), then use
Gimp to make it positive. That would work, right? Or there is a better way.
I am excited. I can also see couple of the pictures on our walls.
Best
Boris
