Light and Shadow

Today with my film camera I chased light and shadow and managed to get 72 shots - two rolls of film. I am tired and have so much respect for those who take photos for hours at a time. I lost my pen twice (for keeping track of F stops and adjustments) and had to "borrow" one from first a coffee shop and then the library. I had forgotten food and was famished, even stumbled and fell over a raised sidewalk edge, but hurt neither myself or camera. I found bathrooms so I could keep drinking water. I did get the rhythm of filling the lens with the shadow and setting F stop and time, then stopping down two stops, and frame and focus. We shall see how many are correctly exposed.

My digital was with me but I rarely pulled it out of my bag so even more humbling are those who shoot regularly with more than one camera at a time. My respect for the art of photography is soaring!
