I didn't visit UHH to cry, but I did. Wow.

I was amused to read all the fuss about those lost Ansel Adams negatives found at a garage sale last year. Adams himself said, "Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop."

And I've read he did a lot of post-processing in the darkroom as well.

Out of that box of 65 negatives, I'm sure there were no "keepers", or we would have seen then already.

I don't feel so bad when I can only find one acceptable picture out of 100, and that one I have to do some post processing on it. :)

My first "real" camera was a Mamiya Sekor 500 dtl. Up until then I had Kodak Instamatics and Poloroids. But, they weren't "real" cameras because they only took snapshots, not Photographs. (I've since learned it's not the brush; it's the artist!)

Sadly, due to personal economics at the time, I set photography aside. Now, some decades later, I'm getting back into it. My latest "real" camera is a Nikon D90. :) And, I have a darkroom.... my computer!
