Farewell 2016 !

31 Dec 2016 5 2 792
My last post of this year, taken yesterday on a quiet little road near our home. Frankly, not the best year I can remember by a long way - the continiuing insanity in Syria and Iraq, not to mention the horrors in Nice and Berlin, the Brexit nonsense and then Trump, and finally the news that Ipernity will likely fold, so I will not be sad to see this year end !! If Ipernity does go, I have more or less decided that I will not return to Flickr, I've paid a few visits there since the news about Ipernity broke, and I'm not impressed, so I think I will restart a dormant blog I have about the Kodak Tourist, and also try to use that camera a lot more in 2017. I'm not very familiar with blogging, and I don't do any of the social media stuff, but maybe I will be able to make something of it, and perhaps spend more time taking photographs !! What I will miss is all the many friends I have made on Ipernity, and the inspiration of your beautiful photos, and so I still hope Ipernity will survive somehow. Ever the optimist ! Happy New Year !! 1948 Kodak Tourist, f4.5/105mm Anaston lens, x2 yellow filter. Foma 400 in divided D23 5+5mins @21C, scanned @1200dpi on Epson V500
