Yesterday afternoon was an unplanned run off-island to go over to Redmond to see Zoe's mom. She hasn't been feeling well so we dragged her out to dinner and she was feeling much better when we left. Nothing like good food and company to cheer one up. Caught a late boat back to the island.

Zoe's mom is moving over to Whidbey Island to be closer to us. Her new place is being built and is in the final finishing stages. All the interior doors were delivered yesterday. This weekend we start moving stuff over into the garage. She has to be out of her old place April 16.

My Epson C80 printer arrived Monday and I have been doing some tests with it. It's a pigment printer and likes non-coated papers. I'm starting to move away from the standard Epson papers to archival papers for printing my photographs. It get's a bit trickier to print on non-standard papers. I will be trying out some Cone papers and printer profiles at Injet Mall. It's a whole new world. Eventually I will be getting a couple of Epson 1200s for black and white and color Piezography.

My order for archival negative handling and storage supplies from Light Impressions arrived yesterday so I can get on with storing and scanning 40+ years worth of negatives and transparencies. That should keep me off the streets for a while.

I have a meeting this afternoon and I should be back with new links this evening. And I need to squeeze some paying work in somehow.
