Backpacking through Europe in 1994
Introduction 1
August, 2024
Thank you for choosing to come along with me as I relive the 30th anniversary of my amazing adventure of backpacking through Europe in 1994 with my camera for three months - 100 days!
During those 100 days in 1994, I traveled through 11 countries, reconnected with several old friends, created dozens of new ones, got a tattoo, and 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 modern technology, including a laptop computer, a flatbed scanner, a film scanner, my website, my email, my social media, the internet - ALL THINGS THAT DID NOT EXIST IN 1994 - I am giving a whole new life to that experience and all of these priceless images I worked so hard to create in the first place.
