Where's Ameet?

Photo class is over. I now have a stack of beautiful black & white prints to admire, and maybe someday, frame. So what's next?

While the lessons I learnt in the darkroom are useful, they're not sustainable. Traditional photography is on its death-bed, and the trick is to transfer those processes to a digital darkroom. With a few tips from the instructor, I am now churning out near-professional quality prints out of my humble Epson.

Meanwhile, I've been trigger happy this weekend. A combination of good weather and the "Doors Open" heritage festival meant I was out the whole weekend clicking pictures. The processed ones are on flickr. Check them out.

  2. What's the most valuable lesson? Hard to say. For one, I understand what all those photoshop tools actually do!! It also helped to look at everyone else's work, and get feedback on mine. I might go back and take another class in the Fall.

  8. Yeah. Your pictures look like they'd make a really nice calendar to go next to my desk - something I could look up at and smile and experience a little momentary relief from their beauty.
