None of the skills I've gained in patience, discipline, and delayed gratification from shooting and developing film have propagated to other aspects of my life, especially those aspects that involve the consumption of chocolate.

"Morning Fog, Monument Valley". I've been to Monument Valley three times and it never ceases to amaze. This photo was made with an Agfa Isoly camera that has an inverted lens swiped from a #Holga.
Black and white square photo. Morning fog envelopes the base of an enormous, dark butte in Monument Valley in Navajjo Nation on the Utah/Arizona border.

Shadow-sink. When we first moved into our house we nicknamed it "Spiderhaus" because it was full of spiders. But now I call it Shadowhaus because it produces amazing shadows in all seasons of the year.

Two tall wire trellis-like structures, each covered with a thick growth of vines, resemble two mop-headed trolls guarding the structure of an old mill behind them. The millrace lies between the "trolls" and the stone wall of the mill.
