A snippet from a day in the life

2003-12-01 by Tom Baker

AHHHH!!!!  Life is good.  I spent a good part of the day out in the wind and rain taking pictures of the stormy sea with my 4x5 and real b&w film.  A tourist came up (there are ALWAYS tourists here) with a puzzled look on his face.  "Not many of your kind of photographer left", he said.  "It's even worse than that" I said.  "I'm shooting black and white".  At that point his expression was something like "Man, YOU ARE NUTS."  He promplty said, "Well, I guess I better let you get on with your work.  My wife and son are waiting for me in the car."  He turned and left.
 
I don't know what the message is here.  But,  LIFE IS GOOD in the large format b&w lane.
