Saul Leiter American, 1923–2013 "San Carlo Restaurant (3rd Ave. and E. 10th Street)", 1952 New York, New York

Saul Leiter used to buy up expired film : Ansochrome was a color slide film that predated Kodachrome. It would go bad in like a couple months, so would be sold super cheap. Saul shot so much on this, but because it always processed out with a green cast, he thought he couldn’t ever do much with it. He stored it in shoe boxes. In the late 90’s his agent saw this stuff and urged him to take it to a lab. I was working at Laumont Photographics when he came in and we scanned and printed digital prints after color correction in Photoshop. It was not colorized.

stay and watch the next set of possibilities arise and fall away what have you got to lose but everything piece by piece everything day by day

Well, the terrible fact is that though we are all more or less thinking of something or other all the time, some of us are thinking more and some less. Some brains are battling and working and remembering and puzzling things over all the time and other brains are just lying down, snoring and occasionally turning over.  - Ted Hughes

We're unprepared for our little disappointments. Normally I might not pay attention to sunlight pouring into the courtyard but this afternoon, I do - probably because it's already nearly gone. None of us mentions the night, but I, for one, would like to be expecting it, when it comes.  - Nathan McClain from Power Outage Elegy

Say you have seen something. You have seen an ordinary bit of what is real, the infinite fabric of time that eternity shoots through, and time's soft-skinned people working and dying under slowly shifting stars. Then what?  - Annie Dillard :: [riskywiver]
