take two: prints

I've been spending every last free moment I have in the darkroom printing.  Here are some new prints, shot on 35mm Kodak Plus-X with my Pentax K1000.

Perhaps I'm getting a bit sentimental as I look forward to my upcoming visit back to Iowa.  I love where I live now, but I still consider Iowa to be one of the most beautiful places.  I've come to miss some of its beauty, as well as the wide open space which has become less prominent in my day to day life.  These are some 12+ year old photos I took (on disposable 35mm cameras) that I dug out of storage and scanned.  I like how you can see the dust and scratches and regular damage of a photo that's been through years of admiration, love and memory.

I swear I can almost smell that sweet air!  Dear Iowa, a piece of my heart will always lie with you.
