class assignments

i enjoy taking pictures outdoors in nature.  As I develop a theme it will be surrounding the outdoors.  Places I have been and new "old" places I want to visit.  Their is beauty in old spots that other people may not see.  A recent photo shoot I have taken is the Williamsburg Pottery.  The building are falling down and they are preparing  to knock them all down and build anew but they will probably lose some of the charm of the surrounding areas such as the run down nature camp, rusted out delivery trucks and train tracks leading to nowhere. 
Why do poeple tear down some buildings and let others be claimed by nature?  What did the function of the building use to be?  What does the building still have to offer?

black and white photography

I enjoy black and white photography.  I love creating prints in the darkroom with the music turned up really loud!!!!  I am inspired by Ansel Adams and once travled to Toronto just to check out a show.
