The closeup bicycle shot is speaking to me. It is very evocative.

Thank you - that's my favourite probably. <3
I learnt in a dark room circa 1990ish...and I resisted Digital for years. But the best photos are always developed - I think developing skills equal camera skills in terms of importance. I think I'm on Photoshop CC14?
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
One of my good friends from the AF was an AF photographer. Ended his 22 year career traveling with the Thunderbirds as their official photographer. He's the one that inspired me to buy my first decent camera, a Canon AE-1. He taught me a lot about photography, and I used to hang out with him at the base photo lab at Nellis. Got plenty of free film too.
My Dad was a Master Printer, and among his skills was dark room. We almost had a small printing business going here in SW WI. We had a really great little print shop complete with a dark room and the biggest camera I've ever seen. It sat on the floor and was a good 3x8 feet. My dad showed me how to use it and develop the pictures using the fixer and all that stuff. We never developed the business but printing wasn't my bag anyway. We had two very nice Davidson offset presses, one that would do color, we were ready to go... kinda sad.
I like the digital photography too, and had a new Canon 7D MkII, but after weeks of trying to figure out how everything worked on it and still not figuring it all out, I came to the conclusion that it was far more camera than I needed and sold it. I still have my trusty little Canon PowerShot SX280 HS, which has full manual capability and takes what I think really good pics, but, I have been looking at the new mirrorless 35mm, or just a newer upgrade to my little point-n-shoot.
