An analog photo is only really finished onve it has been printed on paper. Printing a well exposed and developped negative on fibre-based paper, washing and drying it represents a long and intensive process, which can go wrong at every stage, but when it succeeds, you look at your picture on the wall with pride - every time - for years...

Disclaimer: I also like all manner of dgital and hybrid photography.

The clouds weren't as dramatic as I would've liked, but the action from the sweeping waves is really growing on me...in fact I love it. The slight motion of the seaweed is pretty cool too!

A similar scene I used to see where people wash their clothes on riverbank.

They use huge hardwood stick beating laundries to get rid of its dirt.

No fabric softener, no laundry sheets, no bleach!

They use detergent bars and pure hand power.

So be kind to your washing machines and the laundromats that serve you!

Don't clean your shoes on it! LOL

Seen on one of my "round the back" snoopings!

"The Washing Machine" is one of the many falls of "The Fairy Pools" in Glen Brittle, Isle of Skye. It is hardly surprising that these falls are so popular with tourists as they are spectacular and the mountain waters are coloured blue/green.

Just silly stuff today but somehow uplifting:-)

Wish you great day and run out to catch some sun;-))

I don't seem to have got out much recently to take photos. It is so lovely today that the sun is shining but there are some jobs to catch up with. At least the washing will dry!

A roll in a day - March 24, 2012. I went for a day in the life theme. Kodak 800 Gold film, it was what was already in my camera. I am fairly certain that the film is expired.

"I've been washing the sand

With my salty tears

Searching the shore

For these long years

And I'll walk the seas forever more…"
