This image bridges time and technology and was 50 years in the making. I captured the campfire image in 1971 as a 13-year-old in Alaska, using a Yashica 2 1/4" camera and Kodacolor film.

The Milky Way image is by my friend, @Calibreus who graciously allowed me to digitally blend it into this scene.

Ironically, the original negative of this image was destroyed in a forest fire in 1992, but fortunately, my sister had kept a print.
