This photo was shot with slide film. 
When I started to shoot photos for this journey in 1997, the rumor was that slide film produced a higher quality image than print film.  I shot slide film while in Washington State, but shot print film most other times.  It was much easier to shoot print film and scan the 4x6 prints with my flatbed scanner, but I still worked with slide film now and then.  I was not ever able to find an economical way to digitize my slides with the quality I prefer. 

I did get an epson scanner but could never get it dialed in.
At a photo club meeting in March 2004, the question came up and one of the the members offered to copy my slides with his digital camera at no charge.  I gave him about 150 slides that I'd shot over the years and have now posted some of them on my web site. 

There are many flaws on these digital images.  Lots of dust, some fogging, corners are dark, odd dark ghost marks.    

Thanks to Steve for his work
