Digital BW, The Print

Well, remember what Edward Weston said:  If you don't know what to photograph, look down at your feet.  Actually, I never could figure out what that meant, but it sounds pretty profound.  I've said that with the right Light, I could make a good picture of our state capitol (Oklahoma). I've since recanted, but the thought is good.  Try northern New Mexico when the Light is good (Spring, before school lets out).  Just stay away from those moradas unless you're carrying some serious heat.

  Hi Clayton, 

  I know a lot of people are tired of these same old type of subjects, but
  I still love them. I only have visited Weston Beach, Point Lobos, and
  Big Sur 5 times in my life, and only stayed a few days.  I'd love to
  spend months at each place. Believe me the pictures you can get there
  are much more artistic (To Me) than the same old North Dakota Landscapes
  I always shoot. I'm getting REALLY tired of them. I just happen to love
  that type of subject, and so rarely get to shoot it.  Bogie got so many
  wagon wheel prints when he first started teaching, he just couldn't take
  it any more. 

  With me, it would take a DAMN fine North Dakota type landscape to
  impress me any more. I have just shot too many of them, and am tired of
  them. I have never cared for street photography. Don't know why, I just
  felt terribly uncomfortable shoving my camera in a strangers face I guess.

  I haven't forgotten about sending you a raw D60 file. I'm waiting for a
  warmer, sunny day to shoot something. It's been cold and windy here for
  quite a few days, but it's supposed to warm up a bit this week.

  Will you be able to open a raw D60 File, or should I open it and save it
  untouched in a photoshop file?

  Jerry
