Yes the pictures are black-and-white, but I think they deserve a click anyway.

Back in my Aggie college days (mid 1970s) I had a roomie from Louisiana that was a rodeo kid. (He participated in the National High School rodeo finals previously).

Well thank you TX. Fortunately I didn't have to go through all you went through making black and white pictures, for me it was just a click of a button. I thought these pictures looked better in black and white because color was too distracting. I still have more Team Roping pictures but I will probably leave those in color.

You guys brought back memories of when my Dave took a photography class and set up a darkroom in our only bathroom. Developing film takes a lot of careful timing. In this case, deciding when it was safe to start developing was one more thing to time. Some of those photos hang on our living room wall today.

Wow! That's great Linda. I only tried developing film one time and that's when I was stationed in Japan and MWR, you may have to ask Dave about that one, had a dark room that us GIs could use, and I don't think I ever had a picture turn out right. So you must've had some skill to get a picture that could be displayed in your home.

It was a college photography class so they taught black and white developing. Dave got an A on his final portfolio and we have three of his pictures of abandoned railroad tracks hanging above his chair in our living room representing two of his favorite hobbies. One of them made the cover of a local RR magazine.

Well I'm impressed, anytime you get on a magazine cover you must be doing something right. So far the best I've done is have header photos on my blog. And I was only able to do that because I was the only one that had to approve the photos, and I didn't have to use a dark room to make the pictures. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
