I had access to a proper large format film scanner for a few days while working with a museum. so I'm now slowly working with my old photos on my computer.

Thanks!

I was asked to work with the Main Marine Corps museum. They wanted copies of my LF photos and other photos for use there. A huge honor to be invited up to work with them all.

Is that in Quantico? I grew up, son of a soldier, between Quantico and Ft. Belvior, and I remember they had a museum on the base. Must be fun to look at the old 4x5s in black and white. The shot above (is that Kandahar?) might also look nice in black and white.

That's the one. I worked with them for a week scanning my film, and helping them to scan their slides. I also shot a massive 222 shot panoramic of Arlington at their request.

This was shot in Bastion. I may convert it to B&W. I didn't really think of doing that because I did shot a ton of B&W, and very little color there. So I really like seing the color ones.

Well, the next time I get back to DC I'll go down to Quantico and have a look!

Looks great in color too, and that hot sun creates a muted pastel in the olive that really conveys a sense of place.

Your son is really growing up in front of our eyes. I always like these portraits of him.
