What I miss most about film......

I love the world of digital photography. However, taking the giant leap from film and darkroom to digital media was, for me, like convincing ancient man to stop carving on stones. I still miss the darkroom. The image on the left is a prime example why. I could be creative in ways I have yet to discover in the new world. I could layer negatives to achieve some really strange and provocative sorcery. This one combines doll parts, iron railroad bridge cross members, and cemetery statuary. I used Kodak Tri-X black and white film with a Canon A-1 35mm film camera. I always developed my own black and white film, and got enormous pleasure playing with the images. These are one-of-a-kind prints. No two are alike.
