Location
I took this photo at my Grandfather's house at Thanksgiving dinner. It was the place to go with all the Family and a lot of close friends invited too. I had a number of shots of Grandpa carving the turkey and decided to get one of him cutting his famous home made pies. The original is in color and included him and others at the table. The man in the foreground is my father with my wife's father in the background. Both have since passed away. One day while going through some old photos I found the original and thought about how I missed the days of those big holiday dinners and the conversations around the table that followed, especially with those two men. I cropped the original so who they are conversing with remains a mystery to inspire memories of when they were talking with whoever views the photo. Printing it in B&W seemed to the nostalgic effectTime

I said the original was in color and standing outside the doorway to the room, the flash did not really hit it's mark. The room was lit by a centered ceiling light and the original had that heavy yellow/orange incandescent cast which printing it in B&W curedEquipment

Especially now with digital imaging shoot and shoot and shoot even more. When I first started it was not uncommon for me to shoot a whole 36 exposures on a subject and maybe only get two what I deemed images from the batch. It was quite costly at the time but the advantage was that I always had the negatives to go back to and reevaluate. As in this batch the original was not a great photo of the intended subject and in this digital age have been immediately erased. These days I at least download the images before I erase anything on my card. I also treat my cards as negatives. Yes i do erase some images but not a lot and when the card is maxed out it is put away in a case, dated and saved. I have relooked at many images over time. A fresh look at older images is fun and sometimes lends to a different perspective. Maybe the image as a whole doesn't work but there is an element of it worthy of it's own attention.
