Good morning dear everyone in the Black And White Community 馃檶馃摳
So, I鈥檝e been here for a little over two years, and rather than repeating my introduction, I鈥檇 like to offer a brief reflection on my work. I adore photography鈥攋ust like all of you who practice it, whether professionally or as a hobby. For the past ten years, photography has been my "fifth grandchild"鈥攖hat鈥檚 how I鈥檇 describe it. I have four real grandchildren鈥攖wo from my son and two from my daughter鈥攁nd photography holds the place right after them. I am 62 years old, and my health fluctuates from day to day; I have my good days and my bad ones. However, regarding everything I鈥檝e published or created in Photoshop so far: not a single detail鈥攏ot even the tiniest thing鈥攊s AI-generated or taken from the internet. I am well aware that some of my photos aren't perfect, but I don't believe I鈥檝e ever published one that was truly bad鈥攐ne that lacked a story or at least a shred of quality. I gladly accept criticism, though I rarely offer it to others, even when I see photos that might warrant it. Ultimately, though, each of us is personally responsible for the decision to publish our work.
I would love to do more street photography, but I feel uncomfortable photographing people on the street when they notice me doing so and I don't have their permission. People in my country have become disgruntled, rude, and ill-tempered, so I never know if I might offend someone or if they might take issue with it.
Well, that鈥檚 all from me for now鈥攍et鈥檚 keep moving forward.
Yesterday, I created a few double exposures in Photoshop, so let's take a look, but first
