Last September, I posted a photo I had taken in July just before the onset of the whirlwind that snatched James and me out of Utah and landed us in Florida. I wasn’t really happy with the photo, but in a rush to try to get something on my blog I threw up an “as is” version anyway. With James’ miracle of healing and pronouncement of being cancer-free despite an original terminal prognosis, our lives are no longer being primarily spent at Orlando’s M. D. Anderson Cancer Clinic. I am thus finding time to blog again on a more regular schedule.
One of the things I’ve been looking forward to was revisiting that photo – one of the first I captured with my pawn shop find of a Mamiya 645 Super medium format film camera. Here it is; I’m much happier with it now. I hope you like it, too.
Mamiya 645 Super, Ilford FP4 Plus ISO 125 film, 50 mm (I failed to record the shutter speed and f/stop used.)
As a side note, the period of inactivity on this blog understandably diminished its following. If you like this post, I would be extremely grateful if you’d please consider sharing it with others. And please come back again!
I Shutter at the Thought! 
The combination of this photo and the Meg Rosoff quote still makes me want to scream and cry. Did you treat this version of the photograph differently, or are my eyes tricking me? This version looks brighter than the one from last July. Oh my heck (as they say in Utah)—was that only last JULY?? NOW I feel the time rushing past.

Yes, Carl – I actually took time to process the image, adjust the contrast and exposure so it and the shadows weren’t so dark… All those things I should have done before!
And I do love that Meg Rosoff quote.
