Description Nikkormat FTn, Nikkor-S 50mm, Ilford HP5

The stairway descending into the squeezy part of the 'Fat Man Squeeze' in Rock City. It is also, I learned, a 'Short Girl With Heavy Winter Coat And Camera Bag Squeeze.' It was very rainy that day, with a grey sky. Water on the stones made traversing the pathways a bit tricky, but I managed to do so without risking life, limb, or camera.

Rock City is a few miles off I-75, just barely north of the Tennessee-Georgia state line. (You switch between states at least once driving up Lookout Mountain.) I'd suggest reading Gaiman's American Gods before visiting, if you do; the locations there will gain extra meaning.

Thank you! The light was odd that day, filtered through a snowstorm about three hours to the south.

I love, love, LOVE this shot. If you made a print, I'd buy it. You and Folly should both have print accounts, dang it. But then I'd be broke.

I'll let you know next time I have access to a darkroom.. would an 8x10 on half-matte paper work for you?

That would be perfect, actually.

If you want it mounted you're doing that yourself. Me and Super 77 don't get along.

Oh, yeah, of course. I just finished mounting six of my own prints. There were some tears and throwing of things, but I think I've finally mastered the process. But I'll kill myself before I'll ever *mat* again.

Thank you, dear! I am afraid that some of the texture shouldn't be there -- the photo shop was having some difficulty with their B&W scanner that day.

Ah, I noticed that.. cropping it would, I think, leave me with an image resembling a bookmark.

Instead I will claim it is to emphasize the closeness of the rock (hey, it was close in there) and vehemently deny anything accidental.
