Barbara, first of all, I need to say that I found you via your insightful, and spot-on, comment you made on "The Friande's" blog review of Hardy's "Far From the Madding Crowd." I just completed a long comment too, that is much in the same vein as yours. I adore all things Hardy, and believe that he was a tremendous writer, and an even better poet.
That being said, I have thoroughly enjoyed discovering your blog. Like you, I am an amateur photographer too. I largely do landscapes, and use some of my photography to illustrate my literary musings on my blog. I love this black and white photograph you've posted. I probably convert about 50% of my digital photography to black and white.
Anyway, I am glad that I found you and your blog. I look forward to spending some time here looking at your offerings.
By the bye, I love the photograph of your bookshelf that you are using as your header. We have many titles in common. In fact, I am desperately trying to find a copy of Ted Hughes' translation of Aeschylus' "The Oresteia." I have heard that it is magnificent. Cheers! Chris
I get many more views on my posts than comments, so please if you drop by, stop and say hello. Otherwise I'll start getting paranoid and neurotic, and worry that nobody likes me... sniff sniff...
That is one very cool shot!
