Welcome to this collection of thoughts. The focus has changed with most posts now on quilting, embroidery, and crafting. The change comes as my life changes -- an exit from the formal, full-time workforce, an entrance into grandparenting, and an acknowledgement that all things eventually end.

ReplyDeleteHow many newsroom romances were born inside a darkroom with only the red lights on.
Having been a photographer (a bad one) as well as a writer at a couple of weeklies I know the joy of watching an image start coming into focus in the magic liquid.
Thanks for the memories.
Photoshop will never replace the thrills of seeing what develops. But I don't miss the chemical smells.
