What’s going on here? Can you really get credentials to photograph the national championship game with just your smart phone

Old Reservoir Dog

Posted on November 18, 2015 by Steve Mays

Playing with photo editing tool called Tonality. One of the effects gave my ghostly visage some color it has never had. A bit startling. I’m sure an experienced Photoshop hand can create effects like this all day long. As an amateur, it’s fun to have tools like this.

Found Photos

[We’re posting this for archival purposes. Someday, someone might recognize someone] If I had to guess I’d say this was part of a photo of women who worked with my mother (Evelyn Mays) at the Dunklin County Welfare Office in Kennett Missouri. No idea why the photo is torn, if it was an accident or intentional. Latter seems unlikely. Some of the names from the back of the photo: Betty Cash, Dolores Gillpatrick, Leona French, Evelyn Overall, Laverne Johnson, Kay Spears, Beatrice Summers, Lucy Redd.

This is one of hundreds of photos found in my parents attic.

Goodnight

Contact Sheet

Posted on July 31, 2015 by Steve Mays

The images below were scanned from an old (1973-74?) contact sheet. Pretty sure the photos were were taken by Larry Thomason at one of the frequent poker nights he held in a small house (think “man cave”) in his parent’s back yard. Larry printed a few shots from this particular night but most of these never made it off the contact sheet. I’ve left them in that format because 1) I like it and 2) it was Larry’s call as to what he wanted to print and he’s gone now and I can’t ask him.
