I've been working in the darkroom


I've been working in the darkroom, getting ready for the critique at the end of my independent study. I'm going with an urban decay theme. Here's a photo I'll be using. I call it "In the Toilet". I was at a industrial complex and in the back are abandoned warehouses and factories. This was lying next to one of those buildings. I found it intriguing that someone felt compelled to bring an old toilet here so they could smash it. It epitomized the "urban decay" I was looking for.

Abandoned

It has been released; my book. Well, it's an anthology but I'm in it. We are going digital to start and hope to find a publisher for the print version. I hope it gets noticed somewhere along the line. It's a powerful message. There are three stories of people abandoned by their fathers as children. My story and Barbara Hidalgo's are also the warning for others. We married men who then abandoned our children. Let's pray this hideous trend ends. Children are so damaged by a parent's abandonment.
