A photo of me, by Roman Scott. I was holding a backpack, thumb in my right pocket, looking at the camera. Two people sat on benches not far behind me, on the left of the image. The Washington Square Arch stood behind leafy branches, with tall buildings in the back. -JBF

Thanks! 😀From the times of film noir...

A photo of late artist, Roman Scott, partly in darkness, walking toward light emanating from a window. The setting resembles a large studio or workspace, with no furnishings. He was wearing a white shirt. Unknown photographer. -JBF

A black and white photo (I handed my camera to a stranger, for the shot) of me. The bottom of the photo fades into whiteness, a glitch in the image. The top stories of The Temple of the Golden Pavilion appear faintly, with mountains behind, and branches above. -JBF

A couple screen grabs of me (in NW Portland, Ore.), from a Super 8 film I once made (a friend filmed this part, and he also appeared in another segment), called Autumnal Empires (two reels, originally untitled). Per a journal entry of mine, the date was 26 March, 1987. #analog #film #super8

The late artist, Roman Scott, wearing a jacket, holding a bottle of beer, and leaning against a stone marker -- with an inscription dedicated to author Gabriel Scott. Characteristic Norwegian buildings, and a large courtyard, are behind. -JBF

A photo I took; artist, Roman Scott; leaning on a statue of Norwegian author, playwright, and poet, Gabriel Scott; Arendal, Norway, June 2009. We encountered the monument by happenstance. In Edvard Munch's stomping area. #analogphotography #negative #norway #realfilm

At first we could not precisely say what was wrong with the formerly crystal-pure air, but after a few seconds our memories reached only too definitely.

Coral and pink tones of a sunset, past dark tree silhouettes. -JBF

The ranch-style home where I lived from 1969-1982. The construction of the place occurred right around the time of the Woodstock Festival. The photo shows a wing of a house, and a projection with a picture window and the window of a daylight basement; all with olive siding. A small telescope showed up in the picture window. A brick chimney appeared on the side of the projection. Fence posts and a washing machine were in the backyard. Trees projected over the roof, from the front yard. Photographer unknown. -JBF

The house (ca. 1979) where I lived from 1969-1982; atop one of the Boring Lava Buttes in Clackamas County, Ore. From here I saw St. Helens erupt in 1980. In 2017, demolishment of the structure occurred. The telescope surveyed a mysterious vastness... #analogphotography #oregon #pacificnorthwest

A Japanese woman in a midcentury-style dress stood before an embosked shrine, in bright sunlight; probably in Kamakura, Japan. -JBF

Bruce W. Falk, wearing a black leather jacket. He was on a Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle, on a sidewalk. 1950s cars were visible parked along the street; along with residential buildings nearby. -JBF

I posted this photo on here last year, but it vanished somehow. My father on his Triumph Thunderbird, early 1950s. I'm not sure of the location -- he was in Chicago, Portland, Oregon, and other places in those times. #analogphotography #blackandwhitephotography #negative #motorcycle #triumph

A photo of Hazel M. Falk, in a midcentury dress, standing in dense ferns and trees; probably in Oregon. It is a vintage black- and-white photo. -JBF

Same here -- I have a few of those badges in my junk drawer! They bring up some memories for sure. 🙂

My name badge, from the grocery store where I worked around the millennium rollover. One of my coworkers had been a Navy Corpsman in the Vietnam conflict. He usually wore aviator shades and had a cig hanging from his mouth (when outside). Another guy was from Vietnam -- former ARVN officer.

Bruce W. Falk, seen in shadow, seated and leaning slightly behind a 1950s Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle, parked in gravel. It is a black-and-white photograph, with two small houses, steps, and a lawn, in the background. -JBF

From a negative: My father, with his Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle, circa 1953. Probably in the Portland, Oregon area. #1950s #analogphotography #blackandwhitephotography #motorcycle #triumph

A black and white photo of Bruce W. Falk (seated on the rock), relaxing outdoors. He is smiling, arms folded, with a shirt with two stripes. People are grouped on a beach below. Rocks, mountains, trees, and a dock appear further off. -JBF

A photo of my father; circa 1950. From a negative. The blur (ghost kid?) in front almost looks like something out of a Francesca Woodman image... #analogphotography #blackandwhitephotography #pacificnorthwest #realfilm

Splendid! I visited Nidaros back in 2003.

Sam Barlow High School Marching Band (from Gresham, Oregon); with a drum major (or two?) in front, crowds on the sidewalk, and a Kentucky Fried Chicken, with a large sign, in the background. With a faded vintage look. Photo probably by Hazel M. Falk. -JBF

A couple parental photos; Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade; 10 June, 1978. From negatives. I was (briefly) a member of the marching band depicted, a little over a year later. #analogphotography #negative #portlandoregon #rosefestival #starwars
