Thanks, but I'm not even close to the level these folks are at.

Sometimes I feel a little wonky, like this, when looking through the camera.

And you have developed (pun intended) an enviable photographic skill set by studying and implementing best practices that produce images that are easily their equal. Your work is outstanding, CH. I'm glad you choose to share them with us.

Well, I gave up darkroom work years ago.

I would disagree that I am their equal, as I am sure the judges of this contest would, but I appreciate the compliment.

I am happy with my work in a way I never was when shooting film. Still, I have a lot of room for improvement, and am enjoying the journey.

I really enjoy posting some of my work here, as it gives me a chance to share images. For me, without sharing images, there would be no point in taking them. I will continue to share, until ya'll get sick of them.

Me, too. But it was great fun for a long time.
