Hi César,

Sounds like you have a full day ahead of you.

This morning I played with the Jupiter-9 on the ZX-5n and also on the A 
2x-s, mowed the front yard, caught a snake for my boy to play with 
(gently, of course), and am sitting down at the 'puter to draw up some 
birthday invitations. Was thinking about doing a head to head with the 
77/1.8 and the 85/2, but that may have to wait. Waiting for the wife to 
get home and see if a trip to the local Botanical Center or Zoo will 
fly (both favorite places to burn film).

Have a good one,

Dan Scott

They've got the wrong lab.

Military wedding.

For the film thread:

NPZ 220 - 3
NPZ 120 - 2
NPS 220 - 2
NPS 120 - 3
T400CN 220 - 5
T400CN 120 - 2
T400CN 35mm - 2
NPZ 35mm - 3
Neopan 1600 - 3

I may stop by the store and pcik up some 120 D400 and D3200. My new
lab gets decent prints from real b+w on their Frontier, so I may
experiment a bit.

I'll probably shoot about 12 rolls, but I'm never sure exactly where
I'll be shooting (though I do know we're stopping by the Capitol
today).

So I just take a load.

Hey, purists! I like that!

Waiting for a phone call from the subject of an article I'm writing
(hopefully for Runner's World) so I can meet him to shoot some photos.

Doing the NYT crossword puzzle and watching PDML messages drift in while I
wait.
