A SERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHER

I’ve been complaining about being out of local material and our days being too hot (95 F / 35 C) for me to go out walking around. Sometimes I’ll go out driving around (this is America) to see what I can shoot from or near my car. While heading down to the Paint St. Louis part of the flood wall, I met Tom Keiser. He is a fine art photographer from something like Chicago or Boston, who was in town doing a STL project. He shoots with 8 X 10 film cartridges, which require exquisite preparation of composition and exposure. You have to do this stuff right the first time. I couldn’t possibly.
