I can relate - Having started out with 'straight' photography (35mm Infrared) & seeing the evolution to our current stage.
For me, my image creations are a positive therapy that certain memories might otherwise put me on a self destructive path.
VERY sweet design you posted here. Thanks for sharing.
Semper Fi.

Gorgeous work, man, I love your methods of making photos unique. I don't consider myself a photographer or an artist, what I do is just for fun, but you have the makeup of a professional in this field. I know jack shit about darkroom work, but I can certainly appreciate it. Well done Keith.

It's all just mistake after mistake, real professionals do really important things, like take pictures of themselves or homeless individuals.
thanks!

Heh heh, guess so. No problem, man.

After reading all of that, I feel like I should comment on it. The words escape me though, since I shoot digital. So far, I can't understand the thought of waiting so much to see how just one little change of ink or dye could make, or another second in the chemical batch or using something completely different. I guess I need to hurry up and buy myself a film camera

It's just taste, I do things for myself, and my own reasons, I could of done things with a computer, but it's just taste. If you use digital, usually there is a reason for it.

I like this image.
And more than the image, I like your words about it. You are pushing me closer and closer to pulling film back out to experiment. I was just given an enlarger from my school when they got rid of their darkroom, and it weighs more than I do I think. I am itching to try it out, but I think it is going to take a while to figure it out since I have never done anything like that before. Still, you keep talking about it and I might have to pull that stuff out pretty soon.

I'm mesmerised...
and as always so intrigued by the process. Granite sounds like an amazing item to use for printing. Heavy, gritty and solid, and yet you've created something so soft and ethereal and dreamy and magical...and...and. *just keep staring*
I'd love to see the real thing...I always say that
