That's what I would like to know. In the last week I finished two more books that you might be interested in. It's going to get worse. At Zoe's suggestion I went down to a building in Freeland that has free books. They just give the damn things away. Well, not entirely. They want them back after you read them. Fair enough. It's called a library. Who would have guessed? I picked up three books and ordered two more. I really had better get some book recommendations up. They're some really good books.

I'ts been a busy week finishing up a website redesign for an old customer. That's done but there is other work to do. It does pay the bills. I did finish my roll in the Pass the Camera Canonet and passed it on to Blaine. I picked up the film yesterday and have 6 photographs to post in the Pass the Camera Gallery and here starting today.

And I've started shooting black and white. I had been waiting to finish my darkroom before shooting black and white but reality is still getting in the way of that. With the demise of my local lab for developing 120 color, I've been sending my 120 color off island to Panda Lab in Seattle. A recent thread at Rangefinder Forum got me excited to use my Efke 25 that has been sitting in my refrigrator for some months now. I had three rolls of 120 and a 50 box of 4x5 purchased at JandC Photo patiently waiting for that darkroom.

It finally dawned on me (these things take awhile) that, since I'm already sending my color film to Panda that I could also send my black and white. Duh! (I still mean to do that darkroom.) I sent in a couple of rolls of Tri-X that I shot last summer and loaded a roll of Efke 25 in my Hasselbladski. ISO 25 means extremely fine grain but a slow film. I'm excited about the results. Maybe I should load up some 4x5 film holders with my Efke 25?

Since it's been a week since I've posted I have a shitload of links. It may take a few days to get them all up. And those book recommendations too!
