exercising a different muscle

I think some of these may actually be worth printing when I get back home. For now, they are more like work in a sketch book. I am limiting myself to the lens baby (for the most part) just so I can try out a new shade of charcoal/a new stipple paper, if you will. In the old days, I would tape these new pictures up in the darkroom or scatter them around the house on various tables (so I could catch a glance as I walked by) to see if they have any staying power OR lessons to learn that might help get me to a new level. Now, with the blog, I can return to them with a click of a few keys and study them in an easier fashion. Sharing them with others at such an early stage is always kind of scary, but as I get older, I definitely feel braver in that regard!
