Nice Photograph at PCNW gallery

This month in the upstairs gallery at the PCNW.org they have some nice photographs from School Graduates. The one that cough my attention the most is Pink Shoes, 2007 by Ellen Witebsky. I love the used leather of the pink shoe and the shallow depht of field. I could do with out the 3rd shoe, but I like the photograph.

CBS Sunday Morning HD

Very happy the one of my favorite shows CBS Sunday Morning finally move to HD. What a difference!

B&W developing

Today I developed my 1st roll of film with my own hands. It was easier than I thought and came out pretty good. I also made my 1st set of Black and White RC prints contact sheets and 8 x 10 enlargements. I think I am hooked.

Tulip Fields

On Friday I finally made it to the Tulip Fields that are 1 1/2 hr from Seattle. It was a great afternoon. The light was great and the field were dry (I was told that they are usually very muddy this time a year). I got inspired and am very happy with the images I was able to capture.

Cambridge

I finally started going trough the images from the trip selecting some that may have potential. I am still in the middle of the editing process but I do get a nice feeling looking at the set of images from Cambridge. I had originally planned to go to Oxford but I end it up staying in near the West End during my second stay in London and the train station near by did not had direct trains to Oxford. There were direct trains to Cambridge so I went to the perennial enemy of Oxford instead. Cambridge turn out to be very charming and jam packed with bicycles and bicycles with baskets. Plus they have a museum with a nice collection of Manet, Cezanne, and Rodin.
