Trouble Winds. I am not sure how to print this one. The negative becomes thin in the upper left hand corner, making it difficult to print. I’m concerned that it might overpower the activity in front when enlarged. I will start small and see what happens.

Curly Cues-pinhole scene and view camera scene. I took two versions of this image. One with a and the other with a view camera. I haven’t taken out the view camera since I started pinhole photography 10 years ago. Challenging as it was, I enjoyed my first time, long time experience. I can’t say that the focus was tack sharp, because I was distracted by all the fiddling with k***s. Still, it got my creative juices flowing. If I’m being honest, I prefer the look of for now.

Garden Study. I have taken this image with many cameras. The light is soft and one can capture a lot of detail in the background. This time, I chose to test my father’s Graflex 35 camera. I cleaned it up and got the slow speeds to work consistently. Using this camera is a sentimental experience. It amazes me that this simple little camera took a lot of our vacation and birthday pictures back in the day. The weekend slide shows of the places we’d been was the icing on the cake. Sometimes the old things become the best tools.

Explosion on the Trail. Santa Fe has many beautiful vistas to choose from. Most days I was overwhelmed by vast mountain ranges and found it difficult to capture the landscape on film. As the trail opened up, I started looking around my immediate surroundings. This patch of fallen underbrush caught my eye. It became the theme for the day.

Petroglyphs, La Cieneguilla. If you travel to New Mexico, you become awashed in the spirituality of the land. Many cultures have enmeshed to create this unique experience. Native Americans comprise the earliest to settle here. The most ancient ones left behind this field of petroglyphs in La Cieneguilla. Their origins are as mysterious as their meanings.

Heaven is a Place…. I took this image at Caperton Swamp in Louisville in early spring this year.

Speaking in Tongues. I struggle with posting this one. I think it captures too much in the frame. Another outing to Eastern Cemetery may help my focus.

At the Whistlestop. This intersection in Clarkson always attracts me because of the high contrast and crisscrossing power lines. I am not sure this captures what I see, but I will keep passing by.

Old Friends. I have taken this stand of trees in various states of decay. This time, the image may have been fogged by the dreaded “fat roll” effect, resulting in the unusual tones. It may be difficult to print later, but I am excited to see if I can match today’s results.

Chitter Chatter. A certain photographer did a wonderful series based on the ornamental corn plants, which of course, were a beautiful study of tonality. I thought I would take the opposite approach when I saw this distressed bunch. Definitely a poor visual pun, but sometimes you just shoot what you see.
