Wow! Long time no update! Well, I didn't really do it on purpose. I've
been very busy at work, with no time for anything else for the last
month and a half, or so. A few things have happened lately, I got two
TLR's (twin reflex lens camera), the Ziess Ikon Ikoflex IIa. They are
both the same model....almost....one is a bit newer than the other. I
finally took one of them out for a test drive along with my digital, of
course. I got the TLR because they use larger negatives than 35mm film,
and thus are able to produce very large prints (bigger than the 12x18
that my digital camera can do). I used a combination of my digital
camera and guessing to meter with the TLR, so we'll see how close I was.
Once I get the two rolls developed (and scanned) that I took today,
I'll be adding a new section to the gallery. I'm really looking forward
to what I can do with my new camera(s)!! I also was testing out a new
hydration system, since I can't use my Camelbak when it's really cold
out, as the water can freeze. It worked perfectly! What else is
happening.... mmm... we got some new people at work recently. One of
them left already, one is fantastic beyond our expectations... but she
has arthritis, and is unable to work for very long at a time. It's too
bad, as she is just mind-blowing wonderful, and I don't just mean
work-wise :). We'll see if we get more before the whole store does
hiring later in the spring or not.
