Back in 2002, when I was scanning my (film) positives for the web, I told myself, "There's no reason I should post pictures that are bigger than 400 pixels in width!"

Boy, I was stupid. I finally got around to getting the film rescanned a couple weeks ago and touched them all up. You can now see how little progression I've made in six years of having photography as a hobby! (Although I only picked it back up a couple of months ago, so really, I have an excuse.)

The new scans are not only bigger, but I've rebalanced the color to be of higher fidelity - the originals were a bit off. I've also taken some liberty in blowing out the shadows in some of the exposures (the 2002 pictures also suffered from a case of the "I'm too lazy to fix underexposed components of these slides").

The whole set is available on Flickr for viewing.

My favorites, rescanned and retouched:

I keep telling myself I need to travel more - maybe this'll be the year I actually take a real trip somewhere. 4 years is too long between international trips! Peru sounds really nice right now :)
