43 Minutes

Some days I'm stuck behind my computer....actually that would be: often, I'm stuck behind my computer. Even when I shoot film, the film eventually is scanned and I have to work on the images on the computer. I'm basically doing what I used to do in the darkroom. Only now it's rare that I ruin my shirts. I'm not much for wild photoshop techniques, but I do spend a lot of time dodging, burning and working on the tones in the print. After a portrait session, I'll spend hours editing and working on the images until....until I can't stand it any longer! And I have to get out. These images were taken at the end of a long day indoors. I went out for walk. Out the driveway turn right, half a block turn right, snap a couple frames, a few more blocks, turn right...followed by a couple more rights. And 43 minutes later I'm back in my driveway.
