Blue Swallow Motel, Tucumcari, New Mexico, 2007. Film color is just different, and some cool film grain may even show itself in prints, so I'm glad I was still shooting film right thru to 2008. I remember standing in that cow field in Texas around this time, Cadillacs laid out in a row. I was elected official photographer for the day, without even submitting myself as a candidate. Probably because I had the biggest camera, but I didn't care, as I got to meet 66 travelers from around the world as they handed me their cameras and posed between the cars and the spray cans. Some had noticed me changing film, and were critical of going through all that trouble when a digital camera like they had would have been much more convenient. Fast forward almost 20 years, and I'm damn glad I have my big beautiful negatives instead of digital pics with the lowly pixel counts of those early cameras.
