In 1976 or thereabouts the park service opened up Ellis Island to tours before the restoration work had begun. I took my trusty Nikon FtN and a couple of rolls of Tri-X and shot some stuff. I thought I'd lost the negs but they turned up by surprise last week.
I shot two rolls and only have the negs from one. The other roll was all interiors, but I have some prints from that roll that I could scan. It was spooky; kind of like an abandoned hospital.
A puzzler though: these negs were out of my possession for 40 years and look a lot more grainy than they should. Can poor storage affect grain even after development??? (I have film that's older than this but looks perfect.)
