I have no lack of ideas for projects, it's a matter of time and money. Sadly, my "free" time might be severely shortened with a normal job, we will see... Thanks all for look and comments. Here's the pic of Alice's Restaurant. I took 2 images to get the flag in the best wavy motion, and this one, the first one, nails it pretty well. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/richardman/810-201909-AlicesRestaurant-2.jpg.html These are the last sheets from an box of old TXP-320 gifted by a friend. I have some Pancro 400 and it looks pretty good, but I need to source some more inexpensive 8x10 film stock. Shanghai GP3 is ~$4 a sheet, so I will be trying that.
