craft lol, a crap boring picture printed well is still crap.
just shoot from a interesting perspective dont worry about craft, leave that to the scrapbookers, middle age women waiting to retire and die.
cathedral roofs, lonely little abandoned houses, tree in field, moody sky shots, flowers (make me sick), passport photo portraits lol, sheep, bird in distance , wine/champagne bottle, water reflections. ......just shoot me im feeling sick
yeah sure i live in the jordaan amsterdam. im free tomorow but i dont wake until 1 pm so anytime after that
i dont do digital or have any scans or fikrcrrcr tweet accounts , but i do have a small collection of contacts on paper mainly using the most short lived salt paper processes . i lust after the temporary images. here today gone tomorrow
sometimes i will create a picture for just a week and then destroy the print and neg
because i just dont give a damn
there a difference between craft and a process. wouldnt you say?
so 1pm ok for you?
reading books about creativity is uncreative, at best you will be a clone of what went before. surely photography is about individuality and finding a look or approach which is unique and not predetermined by the crappy zone system and ansel adams boring pictures.
do yourself a favor and covet your creative accidents , use them as a strength and not as your weakness. thius way you might just create something original for once.
and for gods sakes stay away from rocks on beaches ,fence posts, fluffy clouds, random fruit, tree roots, tractor wheels, tea cups, etc etc etc these pictures make me want to kill myself
yeah that's great except I asked for books about exposing and developing film.
Very easy, Developing by Kurt Jacobson, which ran to 18 editions, and is still the best book on the subject along with his other book Enlarging.

Ian,
This is a book I picked up over 40 years ago, then lost somewhere along the way. Recently I picked up a copy of the 1948 edition on eBay, and I'm thrilled to have it again. Wonder perspective, and the formulae are still very useful. Interesting as history, and instructive as well. I'm glad to hear someone else appreciates it as well. I think my original was a similar vintage to the one I have now. Are later editions any different?
Ulysses

These comments remind me of a statement made to me by a mentor many years ago: "You think you're bein' creative when all yer doin' is makin' a mess."
Honestly, my darkroom foundation has been APUG. I expound through other litereature, but it all started right here and nowhere else.
