Negative Approach performing at the Star and Garter, Manchester, on Tuesday the 16th of October 2012
1910's or twenties.. I have a lot of negatives, which I have been told, cannot be processed. I put this one through the Corel negative feature to find a boy, playing with a dog. The only time I've see my Mom's spaniel. If this is my Uncle Louis, at say, 10, it's from 1912.
Old 120 negative scanned on a regular flat bed scanner. Poor quality negative from late 1940's / early 1950's showing a home darkroom. This ones for Jusni!
I was intrigued by today's Macro Monday theme, Negative Space. So I read a little and then went searching through the photos I took last week while on vacation. I found this one. While not taken specifically for the group and not a macro by a long shot, I felt it really fit the definition of negative space.
However, the real reason for putting it on flickr is to give the next two shots some context. Specifically shot as macros with a definite negative space concept, they were taken 3 or 4 days before the theme was announced.
You might want to check this out on a black background. It's a pretty cool effect.
Glass negatives from Carbon County, PA.
My guess would be that the photographer is standing on Lehigh Ave looking North-West and the excavation would be the post office located at 3 Lehigh Ave, Jim Thorpe, PA 18229
I have no information as to the specific locations or the people in the photos so if anyone knows anything please feel free to comment. That way I can properly catalog the information with that specific negative and preserve its history for future generations.

Bleached negatives that managed to be bonded together under a baking sun while stacked upon each other.
A print from a glass negative from about 1890. We only recently started to print these amazing Victorian photographs and have been researching their origin.

Inverted paper negative photo of the Pucker Street Dam on the Dowagiac River,
This is my first paper negative experiment. I started with Kentmere fibre based bromide grade 2 paper and cut it to fit the 2. 1/4 3 1/4 Graflex Grafmatic film holders. I used an 80A blue filter (the paper is orthochromatic and even yellow Wratten 8 severely limits exposure) The exposures were made in the Horseman VH-R with the 150mm lens. Not knowing the ISO rating for the film, I metered with the Sekonic L-758DR at ISO 3 and bracketed in 1/2 stop increments for the 6 shots in the holder. The negative made at 2.5 stops faster shutter speed was the best.
I fully developed the paper in Ethol LPD (2 min) and proccessed as if it were a print.
I scanned the linear negative image with the Epson V750 using Silverfast and inverted with Colorneg. A minor curves adjustment lead to the image shown here. There is some spotting in the sky and I am working on figuring out its origin. Focus is a bit soft, and I think this is a scanner issue as the paper negative is sharper.
This is a glass plate negative from the collection of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside archives.
Some of these plates have a little writing at the edge with a place or a date, but this one does not. I don't have any further information about it, beyond it's context; it's part of a collection of photos near the turn of the 20th century.

From my blog post about these images:
"I'm scanning glass plate negatives from the late 1800s today. Working with things like this are part of why I love working in the UW-Parkside Library archives. I'm thrilled at the chance to hold tangible, direct, links to the past in my hand and physically interact with them.
It's similar to the awe I feel when I think about some of the really old 78RPM records that were recorded without electricity via a solely acoustic process. There's a direct physical-acoustic link from those sound waves to my ears. Similarly, there's no extra stage with these negative. They're the very same piece of glass that the photographer exposed to the light from these turn-of-the-century scenes. It's a direct window into the past.
The fact that I'm a photographer myself adds a dimension to the appreciation I think. I can try and get inside the head of the person who observed these scenes a hundred-plus years ago as he setup his camera."

Dawn brought with it a negative low tide so I took the opportunity to get some shots under the Pacifica Pier. The morning overcast helped to diffuse the light.
