Pomeroy Steam Logging Weekend: The heel-boom loader and one of the classic log trucks that they were loading. In the highball days of steam this would have been more likely a set of disconnects or a skeleton car and instead of a road this would be rails. Also, there would be no hard hats. Safety considerations must prevail and I am glad they do. Lots of guys were killed in the woods in accidents that could have been prevented with modern safety equipment and practices. The color on these is blown-out, and that's my fault. My wife had the digital camera, so I grabbed my old Spotmatic and whatever film was in it. It turned out I had Velvia 100 slide film. I thought it was 100 speed B/W film. I had these cross-processed (E-6 in C-41 chemistry) to get prints and found after the fact that this is not the ideal slide film for this kind of thing. Oh well, the blown-out colors makes these look like I shot them in 1971, not 2011.
