The Beach Blog

The notes & thoughts of a traditional/film photographer who's managing to make sense of a digital world...(and actually enjoying it much of the time!) written from the Northern California Coast, every couple of weeks or so, depending on what there is to talk about that's worth your time to read. All contents © Bob Bennett 2007-2012 - until hell freezes over.

I do both traditional B&W darkroom work (most notably photomontage), and digital work.
So the post topics alternate between the two.
I still feel that I am at my best... in the darkroom.
If you would like to contact me or comment, I far prefer you do it by emailing me at: bobbennettphoto@ yahoo.com... step up to the plate, state who you are, and your email. Be real!
I definitely am.... :-)
Please reciprocate, OK?
