About	The first in my series of my sister-n-law's sculptures. This is my return to b/w film, and a 35mm SLR that was just collecting dust. I have also made the determination (while stilll on vacation at home) to develop and print every frame I shoot by myself. I'll give digital a break for a while to dig deeper into the roots of photography. While at my brothers house a few days ago, I started taking pictures to fill up some rolls of b/w, and get use to a guts and glory SLR that sounds like a Howitszer when fired. This is one of my sister-n-law's organic scultpures that is throughout their home. To photograph a piece as a whole work of art, for me, would take away from her presentation. So I decided to go in to her work, and capture the angles that I find most striking with depth and shape. I am so happy to have the smell of b/w developer in the house.

Joel-- back to the roots with developer, stop bath and fixer. The way I started 45 years ago. Now that you have the new scanner and you are back to film, start looking around for a 4x5; try hanging one of those puppies around your neck.
I like the B&W you posted here but the scupltural elements are somewhat lost in the size and scale of the overall photo.

Thanks pops!

yeah...i hear ya, and know exactly what you mean. as soon as I posted this, and saw it on the site, i knew it was not coming across as it did when I printed it. It needs a WIDE white matte. As Lisa noted as well when she saw it on the site. I was going to post it w/ a matte, and then got greedy for size. stoooopid stoooopid stoopid!!!! :)

I'll send another version up later today.

So... my brother gave me a camera that is from our late grandfather.. he hadn't used it, and thought I should give it a chance... it's a 3D stereo camera!! how fitting! So today, going to shoot more with that. developed a roll last night, and it's amazing, but you need a Wheatstone type viewer to see it. pretty awsome.

lots a love.
