Scanning 35mm at home with my old Epson 4490. I got some just awful looking prints back and thought i could get something slightly better, even though the negatives weren't much to work with in the first place. Ta-da!

This is a scanned photo, for a change. I came across this one of me when I was around 6 years old (therefore around 1970). The lion I am holding was made by my clever Mum!
My Dad took this photo of me in hospital and I was actually there for two weeks in an isolated room, recovering from Stephen's Johnson Syndrome. Here's a description from the NHS website:
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a rare but serious disorder that affects the skin, mucous membrane, genitals and eyes.
The mucous membrane is the soft layer of tissue that lines the digestive system from the mouth to the anus, as well as the genital tract (reproductive organs) and eyeballs.
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is usually caused by an unpredictable adverse reaction to certain medications. It can also sometimes be caused by an infection.
The syndrome often begins with flu-like symptoms, followed by a red or purple rash that spreads and forms blisters. The affected skin eventually dies and peels off.
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a medical emergency that requires treatment in hospital, often in intensive care or a burns unit.
Treatment aims to identify the underlying cause, control the symptoms and prevent complications.
It is believed I developed the Measle-like symptoms not long after I'd had the Measles vaccination, and at one stage I had double vision and the rash was inside my mouth. The doctor had been called to our home and he immediately said I had SJS, and said I needed to go to hospital. I remember having an awful cough when I was in hospital and a physio would regularly come round and thump me on my back to hopefully loosen it. I didn't like that at all! I made a full recovery and it was all forgotten about.
Strangely though, after the boys were born it was discovered I had asthma and chest x-rays revealed I had a condition called Bronchiectasis, and when I googled that, I found that Bronchiectasis often develops as a result of a childhood illness like Measles! I have coughed quite a lot throughout my life, despite never smoking, so I wonder if this is all connected.
We returned to Paris in 1979 and my Dad wanted to recreate a photo he'd taken in 1972 in the Montmartre area of Paris! I was around 14 here! Thank you to my Dad for passing on his love of the city to me!

Holga 120 - Camera scanned.
This morning I tried to „camera scan“ the same film from the Holga. I have a cheap light table, probably not good for color, but S/W it's ok. I used the 7R3 and 100mm macro lens on a tripod. Everything pretty improvised. I made the negative inversion in LR also basic adjustments there. In PS I adjusted the tones even further. The film is not at all properly exposed, there are not a lot of controls for that. The sky areas have a strange pattern, the lab guy said this might be because of the old film -- I got this „somewhere" possibly it was stored in a hot place for a long time??
Anyway, Holga is meant to be imperfect and it delivers just that ;-)
