I sent off 7 black and white 8x10 double dark slides to Chris Reid at Blanco Negro to be processed. Nobody in Adelaide provides this service (only 8x10 colour processing but no scanning), and Blanco Negro is the only " pro-lab" in Australia that provides this service. Blanco Negro is actually a commercial fine print darkroom.
The photos have been taken over a number of months and they have mostly been landscape details at Victor Harbor--eg., rock studies--- and urbanscapes at Port Adelaide. I started out very hesitantly and modestly, feeling my way:

I wasn't at all confident in what I was doing. Nor am I sure where I am going with this kind of 8x10 work. I want to continuing to work in black and white and I have a vague idea of exhibiting the best images in this body of work.
Flickr has provided me with a platform to get my photography off the ground and now I want to move on. That's working on projects and having exhibitions.
