ghosts in the photograph I moved to Portland on the 3rd of August, 2004. This is a photo of my first two friends in the city. They're both gone now. Mogwai are still around.

I’ve been going through family photographs I took from my grandma’s house after her passing. I don’t know where this was taken but my grandpa photographed this house in October 1978.

While browsing through historical films color’s catalog of scans under technicolor system V, I realized that the popular print for To Catch a Thief is cropped at the bottom - for whatever reason. The sidewalk is the most apparent exemplification to me (how it doesn’t curve/diverge in the cropped image). I had figured that the aspect ratio looked a bit more widescreen (or at the very least, converted to 16:9) than VistaVision for sure. This just confirms that hunch. I reckon that stock probably wasn’t the source for the film’s 2015 restoration, but perhaps instead its original negatives. That’s always more ideal than a duplicate positive - which is exactly what the image above is. Still doesn’t explain why it’s cropped, but oh well.

Photo

It’s Thursday! Haven’t done this in a while, so here’s another old scan.

Despite the grain and specks on this photo, it isn’t especially old; and in fact, I was already on Tumblr when I snapped it. October, 2014. I was on a business trip to St. Louis. I’m a sucker for old diners and seek them out in every city I visit. My St. Louis based colleague recommended the Eat-Rite Diner, a no-frills 24-hour greasy spoon amid the industrial wasteland of old downtown St. Louis.

I ordered my usual: 2 eggs sunny-side up, crispy bacon, toast and a cup of coffee (black, no sugar). It was cheap and serviceable, but the atmosphere was fantastic.

I had recently purchased an old Pentax K1000 at a garage sale and was eager to try it out on that trip. Unfortunately half of that roll was unusable. Something in the mechanism caused a deep scratch on 18-20 frames, and there was noticeable light fog. Only a couple of shots were worth saving, this being one of them. I don’t know either of these people, but they were terrific subjects and I managed to sneak a couple of pics without appearing too creepy.

Alas, after serving cheap and filling food out of the same cinder-block shack 24 hours a day since 1935, the Eat-Rite Diner permanently closed in 2020, a victim of the pandemic.
