While sorting through old negatives today, I couldn't help but to feel a little bit melancholy knowing I would never expose another roll of film again since I've completely gone digital. This negative is from a roll of film I took back in 1991 while on my first (and last) hot air balloon ride in Palm Springs.

This is a wonderful image, Paul - nicely cropped and lit. Love the curl of the negative and the faint "portraits" it conveys on the table. Excellent!

This is so kewl! Very unique and so well executed!

Thanks for all your kind comments! I wanted to answer Elizabeth's question as to what kind of surface the film is sitting on. It's actually my own little miniature version of a seamless background. It's just an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper curling up behind the film. What looks like reflections are actually the light projecting through the film and onto the paper. :)
