I've been shooting quite a few rolls of film lately. The more I learn (and relearn) about shooting with film, the more I find myself reaching for my old cameras over my new digital wonders. I'm not sure if it's just heady nostalgia, but I like it.

All my new-found enthusiasm for old-school shooting has left me with a growing pile of negatives. What's a boy to do? Buy a film scanner of course! I opted for an Epson V500 Photo. I'm really pleased with it. Keep an eye on my Flickr account for examples...

We have a small pond near our house. It's been popular with the geese this year.

Every year I look into my back yard for signs of the turtle that has lived there for years. He disappears in winter, hibernating no doubt until the warmth of spring. I found him slowly making his way across the yard a couple days ago. His shell looks a little more worn than last year, but not much else has changed. Welcome back Mr. Turtle.
