Oh my God Cindy, yet another link between the two of us. I guess we really were meant to meet. It seems that at least once a week or more now, I am wowed by yet another coincidence.
I just got a letter yesterday from a gentleman who lives here in Michigan and also got to meet Don Burgett. We have sent each other a few emails and are saying things like, "You won't believe what..." It is really uncanny at times.
I LOVE B&W. There is nothing else like it. I can't wait to get my darkroom setup again someday. It will be a while into the future, but it will always be one of my most satisfying hobbies. I used to spend hours in the darkroom and yes, developing B&W is an art. You get to control so much. I just love the dynamics. Color is color, but B&W is a whole different medium. 
Well, off to bed. Am trying to nurse this cold and need a really good night's sleep. Yesterday I laid around and my hubby got me one of my fave movies again, A Bridge Too Far. So I watched that and old Combat reruns most of the day. Ah, what a way to recuperate!
