Re: a good pinhole day

I just dropped off 7 rolls at the local lab. Spent yesterday at a
local art show for awhile, then went off to some local railroad/
industriaI districts and other areas of interest. I gave my new
camera a terrific workout, 8 Banners should be proud of their product.
Everything was mainly 6x6 and 6x12 panoramics, both color and black
and white. But I did goof up the format one one roll, so who knows
what that will look like,,,,,,,,,
I'm going into the darkroom tonight and run the rest of the film and
see what else I got........

It was a good pinhole day!
