I'm getting VERY happy!

 With my growing ability to recover so much more and more from the many scans I've made of film negatives from my archive. I'm impressing my-self, even if I still type with only one finger!

These are from 1986 one of many, many trips to the Big Bend. Lucky for me I still have not only the camera, lens, but some frozen film!

 

 

 

 

And that I got the pleasure of hiking up to and camping on the South & East Rims of the Chisos Mountains so many times!  

 

 

My companion from that trip, and so many more! Oh! and I still have this woman, and she lets me sleep in the same house as her! But she turned my darkroom into a wine cellar. I don't drink wine.

 

 I just have to wonder where my priorities were to take so many pictures of rocks and cactus with this beautiful woman beside me?

remember to click on image for a full screen view! maybe some day I'll stop re-editing and start printing! 

An Important note ( to me anyway) NO letting AI transform my photographs or their processing. I stick to the things I knew how to do in my darkroom- I just do them better now! And in the daylight! Hell I dont even shoot RAW in my digital work, just plan on getting it right when I take the photo.

Measure twice and cut once! 

trust me, you'll still make some horrible mistakes!
