A Little Exposure Helps

[dave lackey]

A couple of things a photographer really needs:

1. A Body of Work
2. A Little Exposure

Even if it is a small town newspaper...

Frank, Michael, Chris, Ralph...thanks guys! It is always nice to see a little exposure from a project that was all fun and a lot of work! Made a bunch of friends at the same time.:angel:

Thanks, Michael...

nah, my wife fell and wound up in a wheelchair so I am going to have to wait another 5 weeks and then off to rehab for her. Looking like a November project.

Dave, I'm sorry. my best wishes to her.

November is the best season for film processing.
The tri-X are ripe and the D76 in blossom.
Shoot me a note and I'll be glad to work on this with you.

Congratulations for your little exposure! I like this phrase in the article : "Film goes in line with the character of the town,"

Thanks, Robert... I tried my best to get some previous DSLR photos to work but gave up and went with TriX and Ilford 100 film. I immediately saw that the character of what I saw in the town was matched very well with the character of the images on film. The other two I am working on will be done in a similar way with some minor differences mostly having to do with more abstracts and more people rather than an architectural documentary.

Way to go Dave ... after a tough weekend personally, this has made me feel good.

You sure deserve the recognition.

Thank you, Keith...here's hoping the next week and beyond go much better!:angel:
