Vintage 16mm Transparancies from my 16-MG 1972!

Me on the rocks on the St. Croix River age 14, Dad raking at the Cabin

Dad bringing up firewood, Mom wiping her nose.

Lunchtime at the Cabin and me actually splitting wood, age 14.

Taken with the Minolta 16-MG I bought at age 13 (1971 - Paid $65 for it at Century Camera in Downtown Minneapolis) which I still own today. I imagine on some sort of Ektachrome as the colors are way to faded for these to be Kodachrome. Probably an E-4 film back then! The actual slides are very faded. I had to crank up the contrast quite a bit in the computer, and as you can see the colors are less than brilliant, plus since I found these floating around in a junk box in the attic they're filthy and I cleaned them best I had patience for.
