This is wow to me. It quite probably very warm outside, and obviously inside. The contrasts are spectacular and the texture in the bricks really adds to this view of differently shaped rectangles. This is summer at its best, I just love summer in the city. What a cliché, I know. Sorry. 
Anyway, this is from Lund, my first year in this town, and the year is 1989. Camera is my beloved Nikon F2, and the lens the marvellous Nikkor 35mm f/2. This negative was scanned as all my other 35mm negatives, but somehow the scanner did a much better job with this one. Not much photoshopping needed. The contrast came quite probably from an orange filter, which I used from time to time.

Ove: I’m liking this nostalgic trip back through time! You’ve done a great job of preserving and keeping track of your negatives. I lost a great many negatives through several moves. I long for them sometimes.
Yes, I can imagine that. I have kept mine in albums, along with contact sheets. For most of them, I only know what year they are from, but for some i even noted what week they were taken, on the contact sheet. Thanks!
I am still going through old slides and negatives but I haven’t done any lately. I, like Paul, have lost some along the way due to moving and such.
I miss my old Nikon FTN, a large heavy clunker, but reliable.
Those open windows feel like some sort of flags and I agree that the contrast is marvelous. In light of the headache I am having trying to keep digital files organized, I am particularly impressed by anyone who did a good job organizing negatives and slides. Somehow, I suspect that I wouldn’t have done so well.
Don, I miss my F2, too. That came out good.
Anyway, the F2 was such a well made camera you could use it as a hammer, heavy as one. I regret I sold it.
You would with colour positive, Anita, that since it is in their very nature to be mounted and placed in magazines. Maybe you should start shooting old fashion colour slide film an hang out with Paul and Chris.
