Taken a few years ago, down at the docks on Lake Ontario, here in Toronto.
While walking around looking for human subjects, I spotted an interesting graphic on the side of a moored ship, and grabbed this photo.

I also enjoy finding graphic shots such as this.
Do you develop the film yourself? Are the negatives then scanned? If so, how do you "reverse" a scanned negative? I'm so incredibly untutored about film and negatives that I'm not even sure I'm asking the questions correctly!

Good question, but this is taken on color slide film.... nothing to reverse.
Most good scanners (e.g. Epson V850) are running with SilverFast software, this software has a subset called NegaFix which allows you to process a large variety of negatives.

Andrea,
No, I do not develop my own film, although there are kits available for doing E-6 processing. My film goes to a lab. The film is both the negative as well as the positive, and is "reversed" in the developing process, which is why slide film is also known a 'reversal film", and what was in the camera is what I get back in the slide mount.
when I first began photography in 1977, I shot print film, but on the advice of my first mentor, switched to slide film to learn about exposure.
However, there were a few shots I made in those days that required scanning to put them on-line, and so I took the print negatives, mounted them in slide mounts, scanned them and using a feature in Photoshop (Image>adjustments> invert ) that turned the negatives into positives which could then be manipulated with the software.
I hope this answers your questions.
