    too much equipment....



    I think it is because I live in a small contry, with almost no analouge photographers left...

    So people keep giving me stuff..

    I have a full darkroom with 12 enlargers, so I am sort of good...

    Then I have 2 Durst laborator 138 standing on hold.. storage.. + a laborator 1000 and 1200...

    The today I was asked to come look at some (more) equipment, and look and behold:

    Two more Laborator 138 s .... fully equiped...

    I am fast running out of storage space...

    what to do..

    Since it's such a small country, just saw it off the rest of the continent and raft it over
    here. We could always use more Durst and no sense shipping it piece by piece.

    Shipping containers aren't that expensive, but would be, I think, in the $10,000 range to move a container load across the Atlantic. Should we wait until a 40ft container can be filled? Should also be a less-than-load rate, too. We could also send someone over via tramp steamer and bring back one enlarger at a time in their cabin.

    What's Ash been up to?

    Not a bad idea - I'll think about it.

    I thought he was a great Dane. Or at least a pretty good one.
