You have indeed show it before - but that in no way detracts from what a
really wonderful shot it is...You should show it at regular intervals...

Either do as which is lucky as I have been shooting it since 1964 and I
have a backlog of scanning to do on it. I've found the Nikon 5000 does a
better job than the 2000. Which is why my local kindergarten wouldn?t
take mine. Still no ICE though what if someone came out with a cleaner
thing you put right in front of your scanner. Maybe attached to it? For
strip negs that is but I guess also for slides. Mark Rabiner Photography

Here's an old 60's tri x shot I probably have shown here before.

Taken with a Voigtl?nder Vito BL which my grandfather gave to my father
and my father gave to me (when he got his Contarex Bullseye). My
grandfather, father and myself all share the fact that we were all born
in Brooklyn New York. But on different days.
