all excuses have been removed

That's a picture of me loading 6 sheet film holders with 12 sheets of Efke PL25. The film is not covered so it has to be completely dark. While I was fumbling around in the dark loading film (here is how it is done) I was listening to a very tasty version of J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations. It's been a few years since I loaded sheet film but I think they are all nicely tucked in their respective film holders. The Burke & James Press and tripod is by the front door ready to go for a walkabout tomorrow morning. I will be taking the Schneider APO-Symmar 210mm/f5.6, Kodak Anastigmat 170mm/f7.7, Konica Hexanon GRII 150mm/f9 (with the Packard shutter), and the Wollensak 4x5 Series IIIA EX.W.A. 90mm f/12.5. I will be trying them all. I also have 6 sheets of Polaroid film. I will just be shooting in my neighborhood. All excuses are gone. Well, maybe it will rain...
