Thanks, Ken. I’m glad you like it. I usually try to talk myself out of it but I added some “silver-rich grain” to this one…that is something I truly miss from the old film days.
I loved to print scenes like this one in my darkroom but those days are gone. I gave away all my darkroom equipment last year to a master’s student who was thrilled to have it. There are days I miss printing but I soon come to my senses. I love everything about digital photography.
Gone for me too. I tried to find a home for my equipment several years ago but didn’t succeed. I gave it to a local thrift store and I think they sold it online. The only thing I really miss is the grain, but only in some images, and watching the image come up in the developer under the safelight. Digital photography allows for a lot more completed photographs, at least for me…I like it.

Perfection…the heavy grain is almost too much but it all works – especially the fence, which is barely hinted at.
Your conversation with Ken about darkroom days is interesting to read, too. That wasn’t in my experience. I don’t envy you all for having that background but I do think it makes a difference. We each come to the table with different histories, right? 🙂
Thank you, Lynn. Yes, we do come with different histories; that’s part of the magic (or mystery) of your recent “This Place, This Moment” post I think. I wouldn’t want it any other way…🙂

Excellent and moody shot, A. Well done.

Now that winter is upon us the leaves are gone from the trees and we can see the branches clearly now…
Love it!
Thanks, harrie! Best of the weekend to you.
Same to you, Mic! 👍✋
