Black and White Photography

I had./have a lot of catching up to do with my other 'chores'.  So I'm still behind on photography.  Plus the weather is so gorgeous outside I can almost stand being inside!!

Still haven't received my Epson ink order!!  It has to come today, that's all there is too it.  I've got everything ready - now I need the ink.  I'm also going into town to pick up my framed gelatin silver prints from the Auburn gallery.  They really don't get good exposure where they are and there's too much time and money involved in each one to just leave them 'hanging'.  I'd rather have them here with me.

This morning I've spent almost two hours just working on postings for the High Hand Gallery.  I do the photography for the gallery, the High Hand Gallery's Facebook page, my personal page, my website, my blog, and then on top of that doing their stuff.  Plus I started posting on a local newspaper Events Page for the Gallery.  There's so many media outlets available to advertise on.  I don't mind it but it takes some time to get everything done as I'm sure some of you out there have your own blogs and websites too.

I'm still not dressed and I need to get going here!  I do want to thank everyone who has been posting on my website after looking at my photos.  I'm glad you are enjoying them.  I'm not THAT proud of most of them I guess because they're digital.  My heart is in film and the 'mystery' of it all.  With that said, I really am thinking of just going back to my film images.  I have so many negatives I would never have to take another photo and they would last the rest of my lifetime!  Black and White film is my inspiration.  I'm longing for those shadows - the real ones - the ones that give life it's depth and reality and truism of it all.   Of all of 'us'.  Digital is bothering me...
