Where it All Began | Canon AE-1 & A Roll Film

A few months back, in January, when I began traveling for my Kickstarter project Epiphany : Visio I largely carried my faithful Canon 5D camera and a couple of lenses. However, when we traveled to Montreal, Canada I also brought my very first camera - a Canon AE-1 (made around the same year I was born). I put a couple of rolls through it, but honestly I forgot about them. Out of sight, out of mind, when working on a large scale project. So when I stumbled upon the unprocessed rolls months later I forgot what was on them. I had them processed, and then scanned to digital by Bailey Fine Art Printing in Signal Hill. And I was amazed at the depth of the photographs. There is an added layer of feeling that I haven't often seen on even my favorite pro-digital SLR camera.

Talk to me... what do you see in the photograph? What's there? What's missing? Where is it going? I'd love it if you'd share in the comments if something comes up for you.
