Got my physical copy of the *Internet Phone Book* in the mail today, in which I have an entry. Proudly indie since 1996!

Now that Canada Post has moved to rotating strikes I finally got my box of film developing chemistry. With the Sodium Sulfite and Metol I can make D-23, and I can add the Potassium Bromide to my Caffenol recipe.

Got up on the roof this morning for the first time in years. I really should go up there more often, especially on beautiful sunny days.

I can't afford a decent panoramic camera so this $50 all-plastic 35mm masked frame thing will have to do. Took it for a spin this week on my walk to/from the office. Will make a fun second camera.

If the builders of these beautiful church steps are going to build them out of black-and-white volcanic rock then I'm going to photograph them. Incredible amount of work.

I forgot my fishing rod and licence so I stayed on shore and acted as photographer for my friend out in the canoe this morning. The cloudy skies gave me a chance to play with shadow and contrast.

My entire Mamiya 6 family is back from the service centre in Quebec. Got a complete overhaul on everything. The lenses feel brand new again. Very happy! Can't wait to get it back in action.

It was a miserable day weather-wise yesterday so I decided to setup my bathroom/darkroom and make some prints. I even pulled out the Ilford postcard paper to make a few copies each of a couple negatives.
