tracks, fog, etc....

This is a nice example of what happens when you look at the weather forecast. I happened to see the news one evening & it warned of high humidity & fog the next morning. I had scouted out a few locations that were promising. So I got up early the next morning, which took a great deal of effort on my part, & got to work. I shot about 3 rolls of film, with a lot of keepers. Been mining that shoot for a long time. Fog pictures are great.

Bye for now...

This is my dear friend Jen, done after her triumphant return fom India. The dress is one she brought back. Great texture.



















next time...

I'm baaaack...

This image was done old-school, by tone and tinting black&white paper. I was taking a class on hand-coloring. I had a blast.
On a more serious note, I've just pretty much recovered from surgery to make sure that my doctor had gotten all of a melanoma tumor on my forearm. It involved removal of a couple of lymph nodes, making a bigger hole in my forearm, and skin-grafts from my thigh to my forearm, to cover up the hole. Fun! All of the pathology reports are negative, which means I've dodged a bullet. Have any spots on your body checked by a doc, kids! This also means that I'm now officially a CANCER SURVIVOR. Jeeze, I hate that phrase. Anyone who's still alive at this moment is a survivor. If I had saved myself from a harrowing adventure out in the wilds by my own effort and resources, then I'd be proud of it. As it was, I finally got a spot on my arm (that several people had urged me to take care of) examined, and the medical profession took over from there. I had little to do with it.


Anyhow, back later...
