Marching forth with my imperfect images, ready to crop and spot with vigor.
What it is all about
This blog is an experiment of sorts. It is an exercise in simplicity, and an appreciation of the process of photography. These are my images, without any retouching or cropping. They have been scanned and rotated, but nothing more.
Comments and advice are quite welcome!

You're right, the grain is beautiful. I always loved grain in my prints, even though everyone else fought against them.
The framing is superb here. I love the creeping shadows of the person and the (?) streetlight.
Yes, there arediffering veiws on film grain. This assignment was for infrared film, which has a lot of grain. Some people hated it, and some loved it.
I think the success of infrared depends on the contrast. It is hard to get a good exposure with this film because the meters in most cameras aren't adjusted for it. You have to guess, based on the overall brightness of the scene. A lovely picture depends on the ability to judge the average level of contrast, and to know how to set your camera.
