Egypt to East Asia:
Another rewind
through time

Did I mention that the Minolta scanner arrived? Perhaps not: the night that I brought it back to the apartment turned into an early morning, and then the week became interesting.

Many of the negatives from Egypt are scuffed and scratched. The Tokyo negatives were either damaged by X-rays or they weren't properly fixed: There's a fog and a green cast of underexposure in most of those images. Many of the negatives from Korea are scuffed as a result of being scanned to CD, as well.

But, as luck would have it, the negatives from the Giza Plateau were left uncut and tightly coiled for the last year. So they look great. I'll get to those soon, but right now here are some reworked images from Cairo, Sinai, Tokyo and lil' ol' Yeoju.

This was the earlier rewind.
