That's very interesting, captured in 1995 means it is probably one of the oldest photos on the site. Ironically, the grainy effect is nowadays sometimes intentionally applied, to make it "hip". This one is the real deal though :) Posted 11 years ago

  Actually the original is a bit faded so after I scanned it I tried to sharpen it up but WOW did that make it grainy. So I just played with the contrast a little and that fixed it a little. Posted 11 years ago

    The picture may be one of the oldest on the site but then I am probably one of the oldest too (By the way this is Lyndon) :) :) :) Posted 11 years ago

      It's just a number, and extra years actually benefit a photographer :) Posted 11 years ago
