I found my old Canon AE-1 camera in a box the other day. This camera was my constant companion in high school and college, and for many years after that.

I had a great concept for this shot, but fouled out when the projector bulb burnt out right before the first shot. Tomorrow I’m getting a new bulb (assuming one can be found) and will try again.

Here’s the idea: I went through a bunch of my old slides and picked a representative shot from my high school portfolio (around 1976). I’m projecting that as the background and then light painting the Canon in the foreground. It should be stunning!

Ahh, well, sometimes ideas need some time to come to fruition.
