Sales of gordy straps keep going up. This month is on track to be my best month yet. I managed to get this weeks orders done by yesterday hoping to have a day in the basement putting up another bench and getting it organized. Instead i will be catching up on some web work. I'm not taking on any new web jobs but I still do maintenance for a few old customers.

This morning I saw that Blue Moon Camera and Machine has charge me for developing my first Minox roll. It should be on it's way back from Portland today. I should get it tomorrow. I can't wait! I have another roll ready to send down and am part way through a third roll. And these are 36 exposure rolls. I haven't shot this much in a long time. It's great to see a picture and just pull the camera out of your shirt pocket and shoot.

Vern has a Minox developing tank. It's as clever as the Minox cameras. The teeny film cartridge is loaded in the tank and then the film is wound out of the cartridge into the tank. None of this requires a darkroom. I want to load my own cartridges with Fuji Across 100 and do my own developing. Probably with Diafine. It's been almost 30 years since I've developed film.

I've been immersing myself in photo books. Specifically, Japanese photo books. It's breathtaking. They are an inspiration for my own book projects. Japan exposures has become my candy man.

The double sided paper for my own book making projects arrived. I need to do some test prints to see just how durable the prints will be.

Way more projects than there is time. At least it's not boring!
