I hadn’t considered that…I haven’t asked permission to share their work online, but I gave them access to their digital files so they could do that if they wished. I do plan to take pictures of my students today posing with their work…at least the winning exhibitors.

You do need to fix it. Bottle of fixer cost me about $11 and looks like it will last a very long time. Some people go so far as to make their own fixer. I haven’t done that…yet

Shooting color? If so, I can understand that. I have been developing color and it is a bit of a production. When I shoot B&W, I homebrew my own caffenol, so chemistry is fresh for every batch (and goes down the drain safely right after).

Fair enough. We could say the same of humans. We’re not all the sharpest tools in the shed and not all entirely trainable.

So cool that she is into falconry. One of the books I am reading has a character that is a falconer, so I have been learning a bit about it and find it fascinating. Interesting relationship between falcon and falconer.

Jesus Christ himself cried out “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” If Jesus could feel like it was all too much, I think it’s fair for the rest of us to be overwhelmed.

Will either of them work? Remains to be seen. And at least they are two different models. One is an x3.0 Grand Prix and the other is an x4.0. Crossing fingers. I did so enjoy my first Samurai, quirky thing that it was.
