Then I started to enhance the overall feeling of the images. I began to play with color and contrast. I began to break some rules. It was fun and I was in the "zone". I felt tuned in to the mood of each photograph. I enhanced that mood in my digital darkroom.

"I am sure the next step will be the electronic image, and I hope I shall live to see it. I trust that the creative eye will continue to function, whatever technological innovations may develop."

I feel very happy with the photographs I have created today. That creation began outdoors with my camera on a tripod in one of the most beautiful places on earth. I finished the creative process today with my computer much as Ansel Adams did in his darkroom.
"The negative is the equivalent of the composer's score, and the print the performance." ~Ansel Adams

Photography is an art form. It is not only the faithful rendering of what we see in the world - we can leave that to the photo-journalists. It is the creative expression of what we have recorded with our cameras. As such it is unique to each photographer.
