“Photoshop” is not a curse word
About a year and a half ago, I was at an event where several photographers were showing off their work. I recognized the name of one of the photographers – he had competed in the St. Agnes Cemetery Photo Contest the year that I won with my Star Trails of St. Agnes Cemetery picture. “I…

Last year, one of my biggest photographic experiments involved shooting a roll of 60+ year old film in my Rolleiflex Automat MX camera. The pictures turned out better than I had expected; and the resulting blog post got picked up and retweeted and FB “liked” all over the world. Not bad for a shot of…
