I'm not nearly careful enough about this. I shot my first roll of Agfa
slide film when I was sixteen. I was at Lake Tahoe, and I haven't had
another opportunity to photograph it. The film had been riding around in
the back of an un-airconditioned car for a month: the pictures were a sickly
green. It was forty-five years before I shot another roll of Agfa. I
learned the wrong lesson; thanks for a good reminder.
