The same view from a few days earlier, in B&W. I think I like this one better.

Time to Fly
I always enjoy taking a color image and seeing what it looks like in B&W – sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. With presets, the choices become even more interesting.
Surprises
Yesterday was a nice day – trip into the San Fernando Valley and then to Glendale and Pasadena with a friend. We visited the Norton Simon museum. I haven’t been there in ages, and I think the last time I was there was sometime in the last century (doesn’t that sound great?)! Walking into the galleries was like meeting up with old friends. I caught up with Gauguin and Fragonard, to name a few, and met some new friends, too, like Georges Lacombe.
Others were out in the sculpture garden, Maillot and Moore. In between, a strong cup of coffee with pastries and conversation, topped off with dinner and home. I’ve forgotten how much of a wonderful experience a great museum can be! Oh, we took some photos, too.
New
I have never used Ilford Super XP2 400 film, which is a b&w film developed in C-41, used for color film processing. Not SOOC, but pleasing enough with some post. Although I was out shooting just to use the film up – to see the results – I did make a few photos I liked.
In the Canyon
This was taken a few weeks ago while out on a hike through the local backcountry. Spring is fading away, and wildfires are already beginning to rear their flames. The plants here are more lush than they have been in some time – we had a bit of rain!
