My good friend, Ellis, takes an exposure with he's medium format camera. Ellis has recently taken the leap into film. This was a first of many trips and experiments with he's film camera.
First roll ever developed at home.
Haven't done any B&W film work in years.
Last time I'd access to a darkroom was when I worked at the hospital a very long time ago.
I chose this subject for the "voice" assignment because I'm inspired by the blue light of the evening... and candlelight... and mood.
This was viewed from San Jose, CA along U.S. 101 freeway. This was at the "back side" of the cold front, which ushered some instability in the atmosphere, causing spotty showers and even a few storm cells to pop up during the afternoon hours. This one in particular developed south of us. It has a wispy anvil, indicating it was one of those "winter-type" thunderheads with the anvil purely composed of ice crystals. It was cold this day, with temps only reaching up to around the upper 50s at the most. Breezy, southwesterly winds were also present as you can see with the palm trees.

My garden. The above ground pond developed a slow but steady leak. We eventually discovered that the concrete had cracked along one edge, about halfway down. Repairing the concrete was not going to be a viable or reliable solution, so we decided to install a butyl liner.
The first step was to create a holding tank for the fish ... four large koi and a couple of dozen smaller goldfish. We built a corral using the giant bales of multipurpose compost (which I will need for my gardening business anyway). Then we lined it with the correct underlay, and then laid in a smaller butyl pond liner.
And we fitted it up with a pump to circulate the water, and an air stone. A necessary feature as there would be too many fish for that small area otherwise.
We used the water from the old pond partly so as not to waste water, but also because the fish would be used to it. Water straight from the tap contains chlorine and chemicals that fish don't like.
favorite shot. as soon as I saw lesson 1 I knew immediately and without hesitation. my artistic voice is my camera.
