Pracktica's photostream

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm a thirty-something hobyist who enjoys a good picture, a good meal and good music. My first SLR was an eastern european brand by the name of Praktica, I enjoyed using it but have since moved on. In the days when 35mm was expensive, I used to make my own prints in a dark-room - coming out smelling of chemicals. Today the darkroom has been replaced by adobe and adjustments and refinements are quicker to make, but take longer to master. I tried shading the monitor with my hand to bring out the contrast, but nothing seemed to happen!

Enjoy whatever I put on here, a little window into my world. I believe that pictures say a lot, not only of the subject, but of the photographer - and that's what I find interesting about flickr. Give me your every-day shots anytime, but I love to develop artistic expression though the medium, not that I have any, but I'm working on it! If you have any hints and tips, please let me know.
