Re: Introducing myself

Hello Eric & Group,

I give the film pieces to my local processing lab in a light tight,
very securely taped cookie tin. One roll of 120 loads 3 cameras,
roughly 12 inches each or as close as I can get cutting in the dark. I
have 18 cameras right now, 3 more almost finished.
220 obviously goes further per roll, but it can be a hassle to handle
and they don't make XP2 in 220.

This pinhole portraiture is something I am very excited about. I just
wanted to do something new and different. My studio is one of the open
galleries for a local event called Art Walk and I always try to have a
10-15 print show on display.
So I plan to show this new work, see how it goes over and then reload
and then pinhole some more.

And Eric, if you are ever down here, we'll drive to Tuscaloosa and
visit the original place. They have ribs and white bread. Nothing
else. And it's not pretty and clean like the Birmingham franchise
location.
If a Bar-B-Q joint has a health rating over 89, they are spending too
much time cleaning and not enough time cooking.
