I know from family in the Western States, that it continues to snow out there, but here in Maryland, Spring has sprung!
I went around my yard today between the rain storms and captured a few of the first signs of spring. I love capturing detail shots like these and I love the vibrant colors after a dreary winter is over.
I grew up in a home where there was a darkroom. One of my best memories of spending time with my Dad was when I got to help in the darkroom - watching prints develop, moving them from developer to fixer to stop solutions. I still have his enlarger and all the chemicals, though it has been a while since I set up the darkroom. Now I shoot with Canon digital equipment and though I've shot professionally for several years, I'm now shooting for pleasure, with the occasional self-project.
