A couple of things a photographer really needs:

1. A Body of Work
2. A Little Exposure

Even if it is a small town newspaper...;)

Thanks, Michael...

Dave, I'm sorry. my best wishes to her.

November is the best season for film processing.
The tri-X are ripe and the D76 in blossom.
Shoot me a note and I'll be glad to work on this with you.;)

Congratulations for your little exposure! I like this phrase in the article : "Film goes in line with the character of the town,"

Thanks, Robert... I tried my best to get some previous DSLR photos to work but gave up and went with TriX and Ilford 100 film. I immediately saw that the character of what I saw in the town was matched very well with the character of the images on film. The other two I am working on will be done in a similar way with some minor differences mostly having to do with more abstracts and more people rather than an architectural documentary.:)

You sure deserve the recognition. :)

Wonderful job Dave. Good write up about your hard work. Sorry to hear about your wife having to go through therapy. Mine goes to see the Neurologist next Friday. Hoping & praying for a swift recovery to both our wives.:angel:

Nice job and great project. I wish you the best of luck with your book. These types of projects become quite valuable to a community. As the area surely will change, your journal of this period will become like a time capsule.

Cheers!

Hey, thanks, Andy. Speaking of time capsules, I have already had a Master Plan of another small town placed in a 100-yr time capsule about 10 years ago. Be neat to know what the folks down the line think about the plan and photos and how it compares then to now.:eek:

Thanks, Rob!

Just got a few copies of the Sunday paper and the article plus photos took up the whole front page of the Arts section of the paper.:angel:

Seriously!
That is a big coverage to be featured in the news about your work, not when something happened to you :)

A hearty congratulations, Dave.

Congratulations, sounds like a great project.

Thank you, George...I have two other books in progress and a very large documentary planned for 2012. This first one was a learning curve in book-making but I am very happy with AdoramaPix. Great quality.
