Last semester I took my first class in color photography. After three courses in black and white, the switch to color made my head spin a little. I definitely have room to improve on color correction! I feel about color correcting the same way I feel when I sit down at a piano and hit a single note and begin tapping out a classic melody relative to that one note. It sounds great! But then I can make that song happen at any number of points on the keyboard...where is it real?

Grandfather. Our school's scanner went nuts at the end of the semester so we had to resort to using the flatbed..

These were all taken with a TLR. I am not a native Virginian, but am beginning to feel like one. These photos were my attempt at seeing Virginia as home.
