I haven’t had much time to shoot anything new so I am declaring it Archive Day. I’ll keep with the spirit theme of my last post (where has this past week gone?). There are plenty of fun online tutorials on black-and-white conversions and I’ve been wanting to try a few myself. No more days of the quick convert to grayscale and be done with it! I didn’t spend too much time on this image but I was thinking about it the other day when reading about better conversion techniques. I don’t know if I am satisfied, but today’s time for tinkering is up. Enjoy.
Jain – Looking at your archived photograph taken in Flores, Azores made me think I was in Flores again as I was in 2005 and when my husband and I met you at breakast time in the dining room. I have not heard from you in a while. I hope all is well. Kind regards to you and Sandy! Maria and Humberto Cardoso
Hello Ms. Maria! How nice to hear from you. I will send you an email soon and thanks for always staying in touch. Boy, it seems on the one hand like it was ages ago we met in Flores and then again, it feels as if it was yesterday! Either way, I am PRETTY SURE our trip was in May 2006, not 2005. Too long ago, regardless. I am forever plotting my return to see the cousins and feel that ocean spay! Many blessings to you and Humberto.
