Digging for Dinner – Clamming in Chatham Harbor, MA.

When I was a teen, I attended a summer photography class run by the city of Boston with my brother and friends. I believe we were given Polaroid cameras and black and white instant film and told to go out and take pictures of whatever we wanted.

*basic cleanup mods – I typically just use Preview to adjust exposure, contrast and sharpness if required. I’d like to start using bracketing more to eliminate even that but…
