With the daylight hours diminishing rapidly, and with more dim and dismal days than bright ones, weather wise, I am returning to some images shot over a year ago to give them the monochrome treatment. Hey, after all, image making is image making in my book, and if I can't be out with a camera then this is the next best thing.
At one time, darkroom work was considered a seasonal activity by many amateur shooters. It was looked upon as the norm to spend the summer months taking the shots and the winter ones being locked away with foul-smelling chemicals; hunched over an enlarger making contact prints, and making enlargements in the dim red glow of the safe light. Of course it is far easier to keep up with it all these days, but what better way to spend an afternoon creating at least something if I insist on staying indoors.
