I wanted to start this second photo page in order to collect my favorite photos from my photo-log into a more compact format, where only the cream-of-the-crop will live and breath and have their being...

It is probably a bit narcissistic to think there is benefit in having TWO fotopages.com phlogs...but the other page, as much as I like it, has grown to be daunting and unwieldy...those who have been faithful to viewing my page (Naomi, Sherri, Shamsul, Marty, Elaine, so many others...) are able to "keep up" with my sporadic posting...this forum will hopefully be more accessible, and more reflective of what I would want people to see of my photos at first glance.

This first entry is to highlight some of my first attempts at medium-format, and other B&W photography, self-developing, and printing. I am in love with the B&W format, and realize I don't do it justice. But, I still find joy in these prints just the same.

That reminds me, I need to scour Ebay in search of an 80mm enlarging lens...I must be off...
