Slide Show: Craig Creek, Craig County, Virginia, October 1977.

Kodachrome 64 slide film.

Of the hundreds of rolls of film I sent to the Kodak lab for processing in the 1970s, only one came back with an apologetic note that began, “Due to an unfortunate laboratory mishap…” But in a time when there were no quick digital means of altering images I was pleased with the otherworldly colors rendered by the chemical mix-up. Even so, I am glad the damaged roll was from a walk in the autumn woods, and not shots of a zeppelin bursting into flames or Jesus returning in the clouds or a toddler being rescued from a well.
