Backpacking through Europe in 1994
Introduction 1
August, 2024
Thank you for choosing to come along with me as I relive my amazing adventure of backpacking through Europe with my camera for three months - 100 days - Back in 1994.
During those 100 days, I traveled through 11 countries, I reconnected with several old friends, I created dozens more new ones, I got a tattoo, and, most fun, I took hundreds of photographs - on black and white film “negatives” and a few color “sides”.
That journal and those negatives have been safely tucked away in my parent’s basement, along with my backpack and sleeping bag, for 30 YEARS!
I always said “one day” I’ll go through that box, “one day” I’ll take a look at those negatives and “one day” I’ll make some prints.
Well, that day is NOW!
Using current technology, including this laptop computer, a flatbed scanner, a film scanner, my website, my email, my social media, the internet - BASICALLY ALL THINGS THAT DID NOT EVEN EXIST IN 1994 - I am giving a whole new life to my experience - and all of these priceless images I worked so hard to create in the first place.
