Simple Photographs

I have been thinking lately about making more simple photographs. No flash, no multiple cameras, no deep themes. Just getting my 8x10 with 250mm Fujinon and making day light portraits. My best bet might be to go with HP5 film because I have it tested for zone development/exposure and I think it might be more readily available in the future. I love Tri-x but the film seems to be heading down the Kodak toilet, it is now only available in 10 sheet boxes.

I might follow Jocks Sturges advice and simplify my photography. Shooting street/country portraits with the 8x10 in South East Asia may be my future. I so do want to make a series of lasting important portraits of normal everyday folk.
