Revisiting some old photos

Recently pickup up a scanner that can handle 4x5 negative (more on that later). So I started by reviving some shots from the field camera I had in South Dakota. 

This was a really important time in my life, so there is some sentimental attachment to these negatives. I’ve taken some liberties with the Church from Scenic South Dakota. The Prarie Fire was one of my first shots with the press camera. It was of a fire that was literally across the street from the Mission where I lived. I calculated despite guessing at the exposure, only partially developing the negative (always measure twice kids) , it still is a pretty amazing shot in my opinion.
