Barely made it to airport, but on plane. Let another day of travel begin.

Sticking to my cafe as home base on the road mantra. That, and my body has zero idea what timezone I'm in, so this is the only thing keeping me alive at this point.

Back on the road, snow edition.

Painted red in the darkroom.

Night time laser tag with the kids. Shhhhhhh, I'm going stealth.

Inheriting film loaders with mystery film always sounds like fun until you expose a couple test rolls to find it's all been exposed to light. Time to load up some fresh rolls.

Instant film is my stand-by for silly around the house photographs and just general fun. With the holidays in full swing, I've been running through packs like crazy.

Still have an unopened box of PX 100 Silver Shade. Amazing how far Impossible film has come. I still dig (and buy a lot) of their black and white. #instantfilm

Split print my said 160 4x5 Tri-X negative from previous update; sits in post-fix-wash before transfer to washer. #darkroom #largeformat

Poor snap, but the depth in this Tri-X negatives rated @ 160 just pleases me so. #family #film #largeformat

Not my best desoldering work, but sufficient for the next step once this new EEPROM shows up.

4 year in, a power outage that took out my UPS also apparently took out the EEPROM on my LG 31MU97-B this morning. Part at least a week out. Ahhhhhhh.

Cleaning off an parts shelf and low and behold old stacks of spinning metal. One of them is a gigantic 435MB. I'd show the old 10MB, but it won't fit in the photo.

Print of my nephew Gabriel in the wash after printing. #darkroom

Tuned up my late grandfather's SX-70 Model 2 and away we go loaded with fresh film and my Mint 2 flashbar.

Ah, Friday. When you get a stack of emails from a company who refuses to hire or pay you, asking you for free consulting to fix their poor idea of a product. I should feel "honored" I'm told. Funny, not feeling it.

Updated and realigned the slides hardware on lens stage on my 45MX, now parallel edge to edge and no wiggle.

Always fine gloves when handling the cleaning of a 45MX condenser lens. #darkroom

Fresh batches of dev, stop, and fixer ready to roll for the next month. #film

Dodged fires to the north, but coming down from the Altamont into the Central Valley was rough, with flying debris and a dust storm.
