    Buying lenses on EBAY--enough is enough!! I did not need that Emil Busch 21 inch lens I just picked up, although it was only 86 dollars. Most important thing is to get back in the darkroom...

    Two years ago I gave up drinking.

    I'm running out of things to give up and everybody STILL thinks I'm a jerk. I guess I could give up being a jerk. But a guy has to have SOME fun in life, doesn't he?
    I always give up self-denial for Lent.

    For me, it's procrastinating and not actually *shooting* anything! I spend more time tinkering with my cameras, trying to find a better camera, than I do actually out and about shooting with any camera. As of today, I own 32 cameras, from Super8 movies to my Seneca Uno 3.25x4.25, and as of December 12th, I haven't shot a single solitairy thing. Bad photographer, bad cinematographer...

    Andrew, if I had a darkroom then I'd print in it. However, my current domestic situation (both socio-political and physical) does not permit for one. I might be able to get away with some contact printing... hmmm should have bought an 8x10.

    Forgetting that life exists outside of the digital lab/darkroom or beyond the ground glass.

    Pulling the darkslide with the lens open. I am a specialist at that.

    Lol.. When I pull a darkslide, it all but guarantees a prolonged gust of wind, but I'm afraid I'll never get control of that.
