Thanks Rattymouse but actually I had to take an awful lot of green out of the image in LR. I'm not sure if it was from poor scanning (my Costco peeps did a sloppy job this time, also scratching the negs, very unusual for them) or the fact the film was old/expired. I pulled it out of my freezer (bought from a studio that went digital) and had never used it before.
Over the next week I am going to post some personal (to me) images from last Feb and March. I turned 40 in February and for whatever reason, my body decided to shut down. Got really sick for a week, thought I was on the mend and ended up in the hospital for 3 days with doctor's guessing what was wrong. Extremely trying time. As I was on the mend but really weak, I got sick again with something else which put me down for the count for another week. I am finally feeling like my old self. Anyways, as I was struggling with getting out of bed, my wife was trying to nurse me back to health and took me on numerous country drives (one of the things we enjoy). Took my leica and a XA with me loaded with film on these drives which proved to be very therapeutic emotionally for me.
Figured I would let you all in on this since I spend so much time on this thread and though don't personally know each of you, feel connected nonetheless for our passion with all things film.
From our first drive, Leica CL, 50/1.8, triX, xtol, pakon, lr5
Toured around one of the dams from a local lake.
Fly fisherman below the dam
from a spot we would go to early in our dating for late night parking Felt like kids but we both worked the late shift
More to come. Hope you don't mind the sentimental self and postings.

Having been out of the gave because of my health taking a turn, I resonate with what you're saying and going through. It's one of the reasons I am starting to shoot film again. Slowing down and getting into the process.
I really like the shot of the fishermen a lot. Nicely seen.
Thanks Jon! Downtown Los Angeles, 5th and Spring St. There's actually quite a bit of cool turn of the century architecture there, and the area has seen quite the renaissance.
Rattymouse, that propeller is a turbine for hydro power. The dam was owned by the electric coop so I guess it was a display of their technology. It was huge!
