For whatever reason, when I was in college and graduate school, I always used slide film. I was sorting through some boxes of old slides the other day and found the ones shown here. These were taken at my grandparents’ farm in Illinois in the winter of 1993.

Most of my old slides are of architectural scale models from school projects or urban locations of proposed sites for those projects. Then, there were these random, rural, farm scenes with the cold, grey sky. I’d almost forgotten life before digital cameras, so as soon as I found these slides, I scanned them.
