Getting back in the analogue saddle after life admin getting in the way for too many months, that turned into years.
I love the rhythm of shooting paper. Loading in the darkroom. Shooting, developing and processing. Ultimately the goal is to do analogue prints, but I enjoy the blend with scanning and inverting. I also enjoy using the cams I have collected to use, from35mm thru to 14" x 14" large format cams. I have many under the radar acquired lovely lenses. Nice to be looking at the world ag…
In what seems like another lifetime past, I moved my life to Denver Colorado on May 8th 2008. I moved there for love which in time dissolved. There is no desire to go back to that time for what dissolved. The residues from that experience exist in the beauty of the American continent that I was glad and grateful to see, that being only a speck that captivated me, I have good friends remaining from that time whom I value, and I have the seminal lessons I learned there and within.

It will be nice to clear the decks somehow........to get that fresh feeling back.

I have long held to the belief that there are seasons to my inner life just as there is a force that changes the physical seasons of my outer life that are way outside of my ability to control. Winter 2016 has been quite analogue. (the 2019 update is below :-)
I have not sat long hours at the computer but more stood in my darkroom and played, cutting paper and working out how to use a new Goosen light meter. I would like to share some of this winters playing here as the world wakes for spring.
