Think Negative There were two points to this project. My first point was that I wanted to scan a negative. In this day and age, it is a borderline revolutionary act to use film. Unfortunately I have let too much time and space get between me and my film camera(s).… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #60

Here is a copy of the journal I kept while I was on vacation last week. It covers parts of 10 days and over 1300 miles. While I doubt anybody reads this whole thing, it was an important exercise for me. There are no pictures, but I will post some… Read More »Vacation Journal
