7 years ago...

Had a return visit today from Larry D. Hayden.  Good to get caught up after 7 years and Chupa was on his best behavior (sort of).  Ben really enjoyed seeing a Hasselblad for the first time.

Larry shot this iconic image of Benita when he was last here.

Larry Hayden (my visitor from a couple of weeks ago) finally got into the darkroom and made some prints. http://www.larrydhayden.com/  He has just started a photo essay about the Field Lab.  I'm really looking forward to his return for more images.

The How To for the camera panning mechanism met a major snag today.  Sourcing my parts, I found that the gear motor gizmo I'm using was out of stock....ahhh, the dark side of surplus.  Will come up with some alternates soon I hope.  For over 10 years, my absolute favorite weird place to shop from is American Science and Surplus.  http://www.sciplus.com/  I love the descriptions of their stuff for sale (it is worth getting on their catalog mailing list just to see it in print) and they keep coming up with items that I seem to "need".

Just got word from friend Chuck Monson that his travels are progressing.  God love 'im, he is 85 years old and just started blogging....!  http://prunepicker.blogspot.com/

Been keeping an eye on my site meter this week - having just crossed the 400,000 visit mark.  Someone from 75.1.104.76 in Dallas performed page view 1,000,000 at 8:26:17 this morning. I think someone deserves a prize.  82,86,65,0,B
