Is that new? It's been awhile since I've been to that part of outah, but I don't remember that place. Or I would certainly have stopped! Do they have porcupine jerky??
You must have been lost.

It's kind of sad. I enjoyed mixing chemicals and watching pictures appear in the tray. However, every step forward means we leave something behind, I wouldn't want it any other way. Without moving forward most of us would stagnate. IMHO

You also did burn and or dodge when printing (equivalent of today's ai). And if the film was shot at wrong asa, them more changes to compensate.
Ai is here. For me, I embrace it. It's a lot easier than the old ways, and just as much fun to see the final image.

I just learned from one of our local birder's blog that the yellow-headed blackbirds are back at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. The attached set from one of my trips out there last year shows the distinctive colors. This species is larger than the more common red winged blackbird. Their call sounds like a rusty gate opening.
If the weather is good, I am going out next week to see for myself.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Took very little time at all, Frank. I shot this shot all of two miles (as the raven flies) from home. Granted, I don't fly like a raven so I opted to drive, which meant having to go two or three times that flightless distance by road, but both of the traffic lights along the way were green and no time was lost.
you sayin this is pretty much out of camera, and not edited big time, all that grass is real lighting. you are lucky to be working where you do.

I have asked myself this recently and I am reading a book that among other things, promises to “ and finish with how to find your purpose in photography.”
That is a bold claim and something I have asked myself more than once. There is no single answer of course, because it is subjective subject.
So I am curious, what do readers here say in response to “What is your purpose in photography?“

I take photos too remind me of something I've seen and to remember the past.
I do it for the fun and relaxation. It truly relaxes me. I may (used to but can not anymore) walk for miles and not get tired.
I also enjoy editing for the same reasons.
I enjoy going back an looking at all, or a few, and trying to remember why I took it. It's usually obvious and I don't think too long.
I do print some, and I change out the ones in my slide show viewer periodically.

Would it change your level of effort? Your approach and / or level of consideration? Your purpose for raising the camera?
I took your statement to mean........
Take each photo as if it is your last, and try to make it all appear better that all others, or you best. If that is done, the each photo taken gets better.
