Black and white film...

I have been participating in some photographic exercises from Chris Orwig's book People Pictures.  I have to say that it's been interesting but very hard for me to keep up.  I think we are on week 8 but today I'm posting week 3.  The reason it's late is because it's black and white film.  After taking the pictures I had to send it away, which took over a week, and I just got it back.  So sad that it's such a bother to shoot film.  I shot film for 25 years and really resisted going to digital but I have to say that I love it.  I used to have a dark room with all the chemicals and such and I also loved that.  It was a challenge to go back to film and now I want to do more of it.  We were to pick 5 of our favorite pictures after shooting a full roll.  My favorites were of my niece.  Instead of 5 I picked 3.
