Scans
I got an amazing gift from my wife for Christmas, a Nikon CoolScan 5000ED film scanner. This scanner has the ability to scan individual slides as well as strips of film. I’m very excited to revisit somethings that I have not seen for sometime. Here are a few initial scans just using the default settings of the scanner.

Who Cares?
Amazing that this song was written in 1931 and still holds relevance today. I heard Tony Bennett sing this on Spectacle: Elvis Costello with…, which is such an incredible show. Even the guests who I didn’t think I would enjoy (Elton John), turned out the be really interesting. The show primarily focuses on the process of music with a heavy emphasis on influences of each of the guests.
Who Cares?
Let it rain and thunder,
Let a million firms go under.
I am not concerned with
Stocks and bonds that I’ve been burned with!
I love you and you love me
And that’s how it will always be
And nothing else can ever mean a thing
Who cares what the public chatters
Love’s the only thing that matters
Who cares if the sky cares to fall in the sea
Who cares what banks fail in Yonkers
Long as you’ve got a kiss that conquers?
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee,
So long as I care for you
And you care for me!
Who cares how history rates me
As long as your kiss intoxicates me?
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee,
So long as I care for you
And you care for me!
-George and Ira Gershwin
