Eric #1 ©2025 Jeffrey Gershom - A color photograph of my friend and fellow soldier at Darmstadt, Germany in 1991. I wanted to test out a new photographic technique, but I needed someone to take a photo of. Eric was a bit hesitant, but I said if the images worked out, I'd give him some reprints so he could send them back to his family in Kansas. "Okay," he said. So, where did we go? An interesting, but awesome place...affectionately known as "Frankenstein Castle." The weather was chilly, but the sun was out. It was also nice to get away from the post. Not all of the images turned out, but some did. For being an experimental way of taking photographs, I was satisfied with the results...so was Eric. BTW, being stationed in Germany was nice, and the folks in Darmstadt were awesome!
