Blogging

Well, I officially have a blog. I will admit... I sort of like it. I started working on it today and finished it today. I don't get a whole lot of extra time [with nursing school and the wife] so I had to work fast. I promise that I will try to keep my blog updated at least once a month. I don't figure on a whole lot of people viewing this blog, but if you are reading this then I suppose you viewed it after all. Thank you. I made this so that I could -I am not really married, by the way -  yea, so I could post my photos. I really enjoy photography. It has become a passion of mine. I hope that if you look at my photos, they speak to you as more than just pictures, but as parts of different stories, captured. Each photo has much that it wants to say to its viewer. I hope that you can see them and interpret what they are saying the way I do. I came up with the name, Urban Silver Salt, because in the 1700's a man named J. H. Schulze observed that a mixture of silver nitrate and chalk darkened on exposure to light. Thus, the photograph came into existence. The process of making the photograph was changed and refined many times. In the early 1800's, the quality was improved by using a new type of salt called sodium thiosulfate to wash off the unexposed silver nitrate. The two chemicals bonded together creating "silver salt," which is still used today in radiology for things such as X-Rays. I though it was pretty cool.

So, I have finished my first blog and I am going to put up a few family photos, then, I am going to bed.

Thanks for stopping by,
