Fast Photo
I bought an unseen photo of Jimi Hendrix. So guys, if you don't know, I'm trying to fill up this wall in my office with rare pictures of athletes, musicians, artists, or anyone I find inspiring. I found this 35 millimeter slide of Jimi Hendrix on eBay for around $200. And when it arrived, it did look like a really cool shot. But it's obviously super small and hard to see. So let's go to Fastphoto and get it printed. We have How's it going no? It's going. This is what we got today. Okay. So the first step is examining things and making sure everything looks okay, which actually this time we ran into an issue. And just so you know, there is, like, gunk on here. I didn't know that. So Well, it impacted a lot or Hard to tell without scanning it. Yeah. I was kinda nervous about whether or not this photo was gonna turn out. But after it was scanned in and a few edits were made, things were looking promising, and it was time to send it to the printer. I've been a huge Hendrix fan since I started playing guitar. I just don't think anyone else has played with that much emotion and feeling. When the print finished, they cut off the edges. And now it's time to go get a frame. Not a lot of options for a 12 by 18 print. Hopefully this one I found will work. Alright. Let's throw this thing together and hang it up. If you guys have ideas for who else I could put up on my wall, drop it below. I've had a lot of fun bringing the two I've done so far to life. And the feeling of seeing these kind of one of one images enlarged for the first time is always a really cool experience. Here's how my Hendrix photo turned out. I love how wide this shot is. He's got the coolest fit on. Stick around to see who we bad next.
