Cool thread. Most of my stuff is film, not digital, but I did just buy a scanner so . . . here some stuff on my desktop.

This actually is my desktop, taken in Japan

My friend. This was shot during Christmas caroling, by candlelight, using TriX pushed to 1600ASA, f1.4 at 1/30. Only a few of the shots from that night turned out, but they have an interesting atmosphere. The crud is from scanning a dusty 8x10.

A girl in my daughter's class. This was a printing challenge. The hooded face was massively under-exposed and low-contrast relative to the white sweatshirt and reflective garbage bag-poncho. I had cut a paper mask the shape of the hooded face, expose the whole image for a short time using a high-contrast filter, place the mask over the face in the print, and expose the image again for a much longer time (16X as much light) using a low contrast filter, while wiggling the mask to avoid sharp lines.

I was in a meeting on the 40th floor of the Columbia Tower when the B-17 buzzed by twice. Cool. Those things look like porcupines with all the gun barrels sticking out. I pity the poor fools who got the job of trying to shoot them down. It must have ben like trying to shoot a sparkler.

jyl - that shot of the girl in the rain - excellent. Thanks for describing the darkroom tricks you used. Seems that's a lost art these days, with all the one-dimensional digital cameras out there....

Love the depth and the composition.

Funny; I was thinking; "masking, lightening, softedge . ... that's just like digital manipulation."

Though, thanks for the process details, and the great pix, John.

So Brian,
Are you into BMX???

Barn swallows have built a nest on my front porch. We have a new baby. I consider it a good omen.

Not exactly a random pic, but a Photoshop "solarized" version of my Sunflower Yellow '76 914 at the Streets of Willow racetrack in SoCal. Kinda grows on you and makes a decent wallpaper!
