I have other stuff I want to post but I'm beat. I finished a new website today. That's good. I've been working on these pictures. That's very good. Gerry (my mother-in-law) went to her doctor today for her Alzheimer's. Not so good. No surprises. Her memory is getting worse, she is increasingly confused, and the doctor is concerned over nocturnal wanderings. We have to secure the front door from the inside. Which brings up these pictures. I often go out to lunch with Gerry. That is usually her outing for the day. I've been taking pinholes of where we eat. This is growing into a series. I want to expand it to include all the regular places we go. I don't know how much longer we will be doing this.

The pinhole camera is working great. Although this roll had some flare problems, I think I found the offending bright spot inside the body that was doing the reflecting. It's now covered with black gaffer's tape and another roll of Fuji Reala is loaded. I was going to put these up one at a time but I like them too much and here they all are. These are all taken with 6x9cm Fuji Reala at f/190. I use a .0126" dia pinhole with a 2.5" focal length. The exposures were from 2 minutes to 4 minutes long.

Not a regular haunt. We had gone off Island to pick up a desk for Zoe.

This was on the ferry as we went to pick up Zoe's desk and get lunch at the Red Robin.

That's Gerry. She hates to have her picture taken.

This couple was sitting across the aisle from us. The composition in all these pictures came out pretty much like I wanted but they all had pinhole surprises. I love the surprise on this one. It's spoiled by the internal reflection. I might be able to repair it better. Or not. I will just have to take more.
