I had to fool this blog. The blog template I'm using takes the first photo of a post and puts it as the sample photo for the home page. The problem is that it has a set format and so if the original isn't in the same format it reshapes it to fit it's preset ratio. If the photo is vertical instead of horizontal then it makes it look really weird. So, what I did was made my own horizontal for the first photo to look good on the home page, but here is the real full photo.
Now, about this photo. I was stationed in Korea about 37 years ago when I took this photo. This little guy and his sister both probably have gotten married and had children of their own that are teenagers by now. But I've always loved this photo of the little boy carrying his sister to wherever they are going. It's not perfectly sharp because it was copied from an old slide on an inexpensive scanner. If I ever find the original slide again I'll have it done right.

If that's a slide from 37 years ago... I wonder if it was even more colourful back then? My parents took lots of holiday slides of me and my siblings around that time, but already 15 years ago they looked 'bleached'. Or maybe they were over exposed to begin with, hard to tell now. I do vaguely remember slide film to need less exposure than negative film, so that could explain it, but not sure if that's a correct memory.
