This little guy sat above my yard for a solid 20 minutes, singing, listening, and smelling the wind. John G. EppingThe entry way to an old, old building in my work neighborhood. I've always liked the structure, as well as the glass. It's on a corner, so I've walked by it many times and just decided to look in this dark foyer. I was surprised. I'll try to shoot some exteriors of the building in the coming weeks. Arch LayersBeautiful geological layers in the cave of Grey's Arch, Red River Gorge. This is a grab shot with my compact camera. I took my Bronica medium format that day and shot this in both color and B&W. Stand by for pictures in the coming weeks of this and more on our day hike. POWPrisoner of Work.

Oliver is half blind with age and a life long battle with ocular herpes, but he can see the string well enough. While on our first trip to Red River Gorge this year. We're at the bottom of Grey's Arch, quite a trek for a doggie with a backpack with our water. More Trains, and some thoughts on 645 format photography
I finally developed the black-and-white film from my day at the Bluegrass Railroad Museum. I used good old Kodak Plus-X 120 film developed in HC-110, a great eco-friendly developer around since the mid-1960's. Even Ansel Adams used it exclusively. I like it because of its extremely long shelf life, and I only have to mix what I need for the day instead of making a large bottle that I have to rush to use before it expires. I shot all these on a Bronica ETRS medium format 6 x 4.5 camera. It has interchangeable film backs, which means I can take one shot in B&W, then remove that film back and put another completely film back on, like color. You get 15 shots per 120 roll, as opposed to only 12 with a 6x6 square camera, or 8 with a 6x7 camera. The negative is several times larger than 35mm film, and 10's of times larger than the typical digital camera. If I scan a 6 x 45 color negative at full optical and digital resolution, my files would be 500 mb, that's 1/2 a Gig! Compare that to my Pentax DSLR that produces RAW files that are 24mb, or about 21 times smaller.
Crypts
A couple of very old underground crypts at the Lexington Cemetery. I've been going to the cemetery for 20+ years and just discovered the crypt with the lantern in the inset. The one with the lock could be right out of "Dawn of the Dead."
Winter Grass
While walking around the Lexington Cemetery one tolerable winter Sunday.
