Being old does not have a lot of plusses. The body slows down, memory falters, simple tasks now take effort, day time naps happen without realizing it, and on and on. Add having neurological issues makes just doing daily chores or getting out a challenge. With all that happening to me, I never thought that […]

Flowers in Black And White
Black and white photography has always fascinated me. I never tire of studying the works of Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Edward Weston, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Billy Brandt.

Clouds, A Quick Follow Up

I feel like such photos are much more dramatic than color photos of clouds. Also I have discovered over many years that others seem to be drawn […]

A Quick Pullover
I learned my photography with the help of Kodak Film. Black and white photos came to life in my basement using Kodak chemicals. When shooting color I would use Kodachrome 25 or 64. I have fond memories of those days. I was discovering and learning. And darn it taking a pic with film, developing the […]
