Oh what is going on with Flickr??? Bring back breathing space around images.

Shaking out the visual cobwebs, mostly with family now. My background is in semi-pro photojournalism back in the later days of Tri-X. I loved the fluency of light quick shooting with available light and the ease of making things better in the darkroom. Thank you Kevin Fleming for getting the how-to and why of dodging and burning into my thick teenage skull.

Fan of Alexander Gardner, Eugene Atget, Walker Evans, Edward and Brett Weston, Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, Paul Strand, Bill Brandt, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Helen Levitt, William Albert Allard, Joel Meyerowitz, Peter Dombrovskis, Tony Sweet, Joe Cornish.

The real Fly Dog is my greyhound Speedster. He was quite a character; affectionate, smart and a fun-loving troublemaker. He had a long and happy life. R.I.P., good buddy.
