I&#8217;m old AND I went to art school, which means I once shot, developed and printed my own black and white photos. I really liked the medium and I loved the darkroom, though I can&#8217;t say I miss losing hours under the red lights and coming out with that dull chemical induced headache. I&#8217;m happy to post process at my computer with a cup of coffee &#8212; it&#8217;s much healthier, though I do miss the magic of seeing the image appear in those flat trays full of weird science.<\/p>\n<p>While I was in college, I was lucky to befriend an old architectural photographer; he let me use his home darkroom, which was much more lovingly maintained than the little closets on campus, and he taught a lot about focus. I probably favor sharp depth of field because of what he taught me. I still have a lot to learn about taking pictures, but with so much gorgeous landscape and such low cost to screwing up, it&#8217;s fun to get out there and just shoot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of the color in the landscape at this time of year is provided by either the blue sky or the colors that people are wearing while they&#8217;re out in the snow.
