I've seen it twice already. A real feast for the senses. Thank you!

I don't take pictures like this very often. The exceptions are places that simply require it - this one is over Donegal (2018), approaching to land at the most beautifully located airport I've ever been to. Incredible mountains and ocean. Donegal is my favourite part of Ireland.

Do we need it now? I'm not sure. Each era should leave its unique mark on architecture, art, etc. However, if you want to know my personal opinion, I will say that there was not and probably will not be (in my time) something more beautiful and moving than modernism.

Modernism was a radical movement/ideology. It was bold and necessary when it emerged, and I believe later generations have benefited greatly from it. Many modernist ideas were phenomenal and innovative. However, when they were introduced and executed incorrectly, they proved to be utopian.

It's a lovely photograph, Deboragh. My children are not interested in photography at all. It's becoming increasingly difficult to even ask them to pose in front of the camera. So I stopped...
I wish you and your family all the best, especially lots of strength and patience.

I was never into HP5. I tried it many times but never liked it for some reason. Delta 400 is a different story, especially with a yellow filter. It's a great and very reliable film. I also expose it at 800 (even in bright daylight) to get the desired look.

Working on this project allowed me to escape from my daily routine and,above all,from the news that had been bombarding my mind since morning every day.The world has gone mad,but now,even returning to the photos themselves takes me to the rustling of the trees and the ubiquitous silence again...

The camera looks great. Looking forward to seeing the images. As for the light - it works very well if you like high contrast ;)

Thank you! I usually rate it ISO 3, same as Direct Positive Paper. In my experience, reciprocity with this material is not an issue. I expose based on the meter reading. The longest one with a paper negative was 40 min, with DPP almost 2 hours. Not sure how it would work with much longer exposures

Flickr was wonderful before 2010. Golden era of this service if I can call it that way.
