This is a scan of one of the 4" x 5" color negatives that I developed on March 22nd. I set up my Jobo CPP-3 Processor, and mixed up a batch of C-41 chemistry. This was a sheet of Kodak Portra 160VC. The film expired in 2008, I loaded into a film holder in 2023, I exposed in in 2024, and I processed it in 2026. The colors shifted a little, and I played around with the scan in Photoshop a little bit. But considering its age, it turned out pretty well.
I shot this with my Ebony SV45TU view camera and a 135mm lens. The photo was taken on June 13th of 2024, at about 2:15 in the afternoon. The exposure was for 1/60 second at F25.0.
Chris and I were exploring in southwestern Saskatchewan in the spring of 2024. I was looking for subject matter for my "Apparitions" project and we were both visiting old hotels for the "Beer Parlour Project". We found this old truck in one of the towns that we visited, and just had to photograph it. It says J Kluzak Canuck on the door. Canuck was a town in the same general area, that no longer exists. Gord Kluzak was a professional hockey player in the NHL who grew up in the area. This truck probably belonged to a relative of his. Gord was drafted first overall by the Boston Bruins in 1982, and is about a year younger than me. He was forced to retire from playing at the age of 27, after only 299 games, as a result of numerous knee injuries.
