a darkroom diary

Oakland Lake, Queens, NY 

I took my Graflex Crown for another spin yesterday.  It wasn't an upstream, but one must be methodical and careful to bring out her best qualities.  I am neither.  Knocking delicate devices, scratching smooth surfaces, exposing light sensitive things - that I do very well.  Even with these special talents, the process wasn't so bad.  In fact, at some point I imagined capturing all that is "darling" easily in the midst of a silky summer breeze.
