Simple

One bird, a row of jasmine, clouds. The simple landscape. Trying to cut down on the clutter continuously.
Often a difficult exercise when one is taken in with a scene. The tendency is to try and take it all in, go with a wider lens. But then, in the end, when the download has occurred, the ones I tend to gravitate toward are the simple. So why do I not always take simple shots? Because often, it demands more. It requires one to see through the wide and down into a macro sort of way.

Today I pulled from storage the old Yashica Mat-124G 120 camera. In the coming days I hope to go to the Freestyle Camera site and order a changing bag, some Acufine or Dektol, stop bath and such. I then plan on ordering some pan film, either Ilford or Fuji in 120. I hope then to be able to shoot negatives, and somehow scan them into the computer, printing them, either through a lab online or up to 8x10 on my bottom of the line Epson printer. It will be a good blend of the old and the new.
I hope this venture plays out and I do not put it off like so many other projects I have good intentions for, bad follow through.
