Granted, film will never be the dominant medium it once was but its going to be around for a long time. I’m glad to be part of the (Leica) film community.

I just got notification that the Epson Printer I ordered in early November has finally been dispatched to me.

I’ve been waiting to take delivery of an Epson 3880 since November. However there apparently has been a shortage of them in Europe, Epson Norway had run out of stock.This will be my first real Photoprinter that I primarily will use for black and white shots.

I’ll keep you posted on how it goes when the Husky team arrive with my package.

At the New forest show on what must have been the hottest day this year I saw a stand by a local funeral director. I was surprised by the diversity of choice and admit to a little morbid fascination.
A little macabre. But what a cool way for a cycle enthusiast to go to his or her last resting place. No emissions and even the coffin is a thick blanket like material.
