Nice work.

Okay, how about some actual old-school photochemical b/w photography?

On a recent trip to Seattle, I shot good old Tri-X in a 1971 Nikon F2 (with the 45mm GN Nikkor lens - the smallest/lightest Nikkor - along with a handheld circa-1950 GE Selenium light meter). I developed in the classic soup - D-76 1:1 - and then scanned the negatives. These images are from the Museum of Flight, Snowqualmie Falls, and Discovery Park.

Yes, the F2 is a heavy camera to carry around in the era of smartphones. Yes, film is a pain to bring through airports. Yes, developing film and scanning it is a lot of work, and a lot can go wrong. But I grew up doing this stuff (my parents owned a little commercial studio), and it's just part of me. It was worth it!

Nice Bushman. The mossy log reminds me of a pic I took of my hat this weekend.

Very nicely done. I really enjoyed them!

Thanks. It's been a couple of years since I last did b/w, and I wasn't really sure the results were going to be worth the effort of dragging around that heavy Nikon F2. But they were!

Of course, "effort" is relative. In the forties and fifties, my dad used to shoot weddings with a 4x5 Crown Graphic - juggling used/unused film holders and flashbulbs...
