<p>I have some of Bill's negatives. Including his most famous one ... also, all the books that were written under his name. Several oil paintings as well as chalks and water colors. 57 of his photos. Both black and white as well as metal-metal chrome. Also, several of his artilces for Camera Craft magazine and the "Complete Photographer+ 1942 And one that is very special. A Diploma signed by Bill recognizing my as a graduate of his school. Also many of his formulas and approach to his finishing of the photo.<br>

As to Bill being Gay. BS !! I spent many hours with Bill and George and their was never even an undercurrent to suggest such a thing.</p>

<p>I'm only guessing, but I may have the most extensive collection of Mortensen's works in private hands.<br>

Not all negs. scan with the color problem, that is what has mystified me. But to answer some of the responses: The film was shot in 1963/64 Using Dandi 120 film. ASA 100 I do not recall what developer I used. Negs. are in good condition, excellent in fact. Scanner is HP G4050 and the Computer program is HP Photo Premier. I can remove the color streaks by going to "Advance Edit" and using the Black and White tools.

These are quality negs. All taken while I studied with William Mortensen in Laguna Beach, California.

So any clues would be most appreciated.

Aloha

I am scanning old black and white negs. 1962-63. Most of them after scan

show up on the computer in various colors. Usually not the entire scan.

Red, yellow, green and an occasional blue. Is this the film or a darkroom

processing that caused this.

Occasionally one will scan correctly.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Aloha
