film days.

sorry for this lovely scanned-in photo...but when iheartfaces gave a "sun flare" challenge, I couldn't stop thinking about this image... and the mystery of sun flare...back when I shot an entire wedding with my beloved Canon Rebel 2000 (no back-up camera), fuji "professional" film 400iso, 36 exposures...and a whole lot of chutzpah...



what was I thinking...
