My Dark Room Days Were Numbered

Just before high end digital cameras came into being, most photographers got scanners to facilitate digital deliver to clients. For a while there service bureaus, remember those? Designers would take film there to be scanned as well as get other digital output stuff. The going rate for a 50meg scan was $50. Photographers said hey, we should be doing that…

More or Less a Luxury

Just saying hello. I have been thinking of sending you a note for a while now, but I have been sooo busy with absolutely nothing. But your post of FB of your garden prompted me to drop everything and say hello. I hope you are well. Your garden looks wonderful and I can see why you would never want to leave.…

Cousins

Well as if on cue… I was sorry to hear story about your cousin. Sounds like he had a hard life. Seems too that you are close to your cousins. Me not so much. My dad’s clan was from upstate NY and my mom’s folks were Hoosiers. Ohio was a nice in between place that allowed for occasional visits. Mostly…

Spring Break

Hey Stuart, Catch any good light lately? I am liking moving out of winter and into spring with the promise of new growth and perhaps life returning to normal. I have been out of it for the past few days. I got my second vaccine shot on Saturday and the side effects hit me on Sunday. Nothing major, just tiredness,…

And Snow it Goes

Well it was pretty while it lasted. But snow doesn’t last very long around here. It seems we get a quick blast of snow and within a day or 2 the rains return and it all goes away. Here’s how it looked on Sunday, Valentine’s Day. Great for some quick sledding or a snowman or 2. Today it is all…

More Poetic

Connie, I recently received an email from a gentleman in France about a CD that had my photo on the cover. A photo of your hand with a rosary. He didn’t say much, just that he had found me. It prompted me to find the original print, since Getty no longer has it in their library. I couldn’t find a…

That’s the Rabbit Hole I was Talking about

Good luck with the new printer. I think yours has the same foot print as mine. And mine hides in a closet out of sight. I had the studio wired in such a way that the chords could sneak in from the wall inside of the closet. Makes it tidy that way. When I print large panoramics, I slide a…

A Nice Change

The news is a little less dramatic these days, almost boring to read. But that is a nice change, don't you think? Now if we can only get this virus under control.

Film Takes Work

I like that old Diana image too. I like most of my Diana works. And I must confess to liking my old film black and white works over my digital color works. I feel good about my digital stuff, but they are rather easy to make and maybe that diminishes their value to me. And maybe my black and white…

The Road Ahead

The last day of of 2020. New Year's Eve is usually a day of reflection for me. I was never one for the big parties, watching the ball drop and toasting the new year and this case a new decade. But rather I always stayed close to home and reflected on the previous year and pondered the road ahead. This…
