Photography came alive for me in the black and white darkroom. For a period
of about 10 years, after moving into a very small house, I did not have
space for a darkroom and I stopped taking photographs. There seemed no
point. What started me up again was digital. Being able to edit and print
images brought photography back to life for me.

I've heard it said that the print is your voice. Everything leading up to
the print (image capture and editing) are all in service of the print. That
makes a lot of sense to me.
