As I said on my post of 07/17/2008, some of my first pictures were “anthropological” pictures of gypsies near my parent´s home in Brussels. Someone asked me to publish them in this blog. These pictures were some of my first photographs ever. I don´t think I had taken more than 50 (perhaps even 20) pictures before. The first picture is a composite pseudo-panoramic using two pictures taken from a slightly different angle (the same boy appears on both) to give a general view of the camp. Can an expert recognize the cars?

(these images are not ready for publishing: they were scanned with the discontinued amateur Olympus scanner at low resolution and are full of scratches (you can see them).Whenever I have time (when? when???) I may try to scan them with my Nikon 5000. I am not sure if Digital Ice will work with silver halide film; some say that it works if you scan as color negative).
