I agree; I've never had a problem appreciating the beauty of both and girls (although earlier it was more boys and later it's been more girls)

Agree, I believe there's several of him in this album. This was at the pool in Nor-gwyn (North Wales) PA. It doesn't seem like 42 years ago.

I really love this one... the look on her face, the posture of her body... very nice capture. She looks deep in thought.

I took almost entirely B & W at that time; especially 'cause I could develop them myself. Before (see Gaeta 70's early) I took quite a few color slides (because of the poor quality of color negs); but then when that got too difficult for me, I waited until the 90's when negative color got much better

My favorite subject was always beautiful child photos, and B & W allowed me to concentrate more on the subject; and is generally considered more artistic.

The B&W gray contrast seems to give more relief and, paradoxically, more reality, I suppose

Fascinating little girl, that's why I kept on taking her photo. She was the smallest member of her 13-14 yr-old girls relay team. From WAC (Wilmington Aquatic Club).

Great photography... These all from the 80's - 90's mean they were 35 mil? Printed and then scanned... I was in yearbook in 90-92... loved capturing, developing, and printing... didn't do any after high school, but sure loved it and got pretty decent at it.

Yes, it was all on 35mm (I did some 6 x 6, but not often). Usually a Canon A-1 or F1 at that time with a moderate zoom. Usually Ilford XP2 or FP4. I started doing more color in the 90's with Fuji NPS. I did all the processing of Black and White. Later on (after 2000), I started scanning everything; and from 2015 on I switched to a Nikon DSLR, but haven't done much kids sports since then. I guess I'd call myself retired now.

Very nice. I wonder if these aquatic clubs are still in existence? Seems to me that far fewer young people are interested in the sport, nowadays. That certainly goes around here.

I haven't really been involved with them since 2005. I think you're right, I haven't heard much about them. I know the Millersville club (where these were taken) has been closed.
