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!

I used iso 50 film and 22 fstop in relatively low light.
She was moving around, cleaning and talking on the phone for about one and a half minutes, then sitting pretty still for 30 seconds or so.
Here is a famous photograph taken by Louis Daguerre (of daguerrotype fame) in 1838 that uses the same technique:
