Munson Rookie Photo and a new passion

I have fallen in love with medium format film. These 120mm 2.25 slides are unreal. They reproduce the highest quality images and are a beautiful thing to behold. I still am hard-core 35mm as it is the most plentiful, but, man, these big slides just trip my trigger!
Anyway, here is a print of Thurman Munson in Spring Training, 1970 that I made from an original medium format slide. The slide was a bit pricey, but quality never goes out of style. I wanted to share this as the image has never been public before and there are quite a few Munson fans out there...this crop is 16x20.
I made a 30x30 square for my office and it's awesome!

    Beautiful. And I love your statement, "quality never goes out of style." Very true. I can't imagine how that would look in 16x20!!

    It's funny. I TRY to explain this fact to my wife when I plop down a couple hundred bucks on a negative and she just doesn't understand!image
    I'm glad you liked the photo. The 30x30 square is in a thick, black, wood frame from IKEA with no matting. It is recessed 1/4" so it has the appearance of being shadow-boxed. I hung it in my office and I just gaze at the thing!

    Whoa, that's stunning. It's so clear, I bet it can blow up beautifully. How do you come across those kinds of slides? I'd love to find one of a young Rose.

    Kid8,
    Here are some Carters. I have quite a bit of him--somewhere in the ballpark of 30 35mm frames... The "Funny Face" shot still needs some light cleaning. I scanned the negative in for this post as I have never really looked at it too closely. I purchased a couple of complete games of Expos from 1977 & 1978. The color shot is from a game against Atlanta in 1982.

    Awesome images Phil! Ever come across any Kent Hrbek images in your travels. Being a Minnesota boy, he was my hero growing up. The Puck was cool, but Herbie was my favorite.
