In 1973 I was fresh out of high school and enjoyed doing my own black and white developing and printing, but didn't have a darkroom. My good buddy Ed shared his with me. We used to leave notes to each other on the door. Here's one of mine. (my nickname was Moon)

It’s Kodachrome AND it’s an old slide. I took it. 1980 or there abouts, in Bermuda. Scanned it yesterday. I had a Kodachrome+circular polarizer phase.

Old Kodak darkroom exposure gauge

Found this test print from 1972. Ah the olde days of sloshing Dektol in a tray.

Grabbed this far away shot of a juvenile Easter Milk Snake in my garden today. I switched to the macro lens then attempted a closeup but as soon as I moved it fled. Southeast PA

Euphorbia x ‘Miner’s Merlot’ is developing its intense fall coloration. Here it is in my garden today, backed with Amsonia hubrichtii and fronted by Chrysanthemum 'Single Apricot', which is just starting to bloom. Southeast PA
