Wild Ride

WTF is going on in our country?  The US vote today in the UN is just more evidence of the rough ride ahead under this treasonous administration.  Hoping there is a recognizable platform when this roller coaster ride is over.

Recovery

52Frames - Week 8 - Triangular Composition

Bitter temperatures this week so getting outside to photograph was not an option. Since my better half had knee surgery last week, I decided to do a literal interpretation of the prompt and photograph her post-op exercise.  Pretty good range of motion for 6 days in!

Black & White In Cancun

When recently in Cancun, Mexico, I took my Nikon 35Ti camera loaded with some Ilford HP5+ black & white film.  Below is a collection of photos shot in late January & early February 2025.  Developed the film with my friend Steve and scanned the negatives at home.
