Hi Laura,
I think that most photographers who are learning the craft to day will never hike a couple of miles through snow with 40 pounds of 8X10 camera strapped to their back. Of course they will never have the experience of seeing a contact print of an image like this. There is something very special about a traditional image; that is made with silver photo paper, where the negative is not enlarged, just put onto the paper. Look at original work by Edward Weston, if you want to see a master of this craft. It was difficult to make this image, but I am really glad I did the work. Thanks, John Siskin

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
