today

was a very busy day - packaging and matting (which is the most time consuming part of this business). Just about caught up - and two more orders arrived. But somehow, on my way to and from the Fedex drop-off I found time to finish off another roll of tri-x. This time - not test shots - just shooting when something looked interesting.

The more I use the new RF the more I like it. I don't have this "obsession" with anything else that I can think of: t.v. is old; stereo is old; fridge looks like it's from about 1950; clothes - just wear them until they shred; air-conditioner: old; still have the same three lamps I bought when I moved in here 12 years ago; only new furniture - a $10 folding chair for people who would like to sit when they come by.

Even the cat's frugal: one brand of dry cat food and that's it. I've offered him luxury foods but he just makes a funny face, licks his lips and backs off. Low maintenance....
