♫ Your own infrared Jesus ♫ (With apologies to Depeche Mode)
This is another old film I just had developed at Boréalis Laboratoire Photo, in Montreal, a lab that still develops, scans and prints film. They did a good job, even though this film is more than 30 years old. It's Konica Infrared 750 nm, which had been stored at room temperature since it was taken, so having anything on it is surprising! Probably Mississauga, early 1990s. As I remember the guy didn't think he was Jesus but was just trying to spread his message. Note how the grass is white and the sky is dark, since the film is 'seeing' in a wavelength of light that is not visible to people. The focus point is different from visible light because it has a longer wavelength, so 'Jesus' is a little blurry.
