Whats in back of you is the past and whats in front of you is the future now in the middle you have choices to make for yourself:
Jim - keep going. The peanut gallery will always second-guess the work. My mentor used to say – “getting there is all of the fun”. After 30-years, I’m beginning to understand what he meant. I’m enjoying the creative process more than ever before. Craig
Craig if I would have stopped when several people said " no way can you do that" I would have given up long ago. No 8x20 or 11x14 would have been built. If I have an idea or a vision I'm going to do it no matter what anyone tells me otherwise. It is part of the learning process. An example is the Voigtlander Hybrid 16" lens that I put together from the back element only. I put a +1 diopter up front and now I have a great soft focus lens for the 11x14! It is not bad stopped down to 64 with the home made waterhouse stops either.

Gustavo, nice to see what can come out of a little hard work. My 2-D was not that bad! I turned mine into the 8x20! Great to see what a little imagination and hard work can do. Nice going.
"Minty" that cracked me up! Nice one, Jim.

Does Jim have a big dirt pit in his yard where he gets all of this stuff from. Pe Yu, it was garbage in the beginning and came out like a dove. Fantastic job Gustavo, I'll give it to you for going with something that hard. Minty, maybe feena mint !
Now it's certainly Mint.
