Photography in Illinois

June was a good month for photographing in farm country Illinois, the weather there was great. Results are some really good B&W negatives made using the 4x5, plus many rolls from the Rolleiflex. Prints to follow.

Picture is from my phone, which will make a outstanding Black and White print.
Instagram has more from Illinois.

Photographing Trees

One of my favorite themes to photograph up close are the patterns and details of the bark.
