Shooting digital gets awful close to "work" having to download the photos, edit them then send them to be printed...with film I run into COSTCO, get them printed and put on a CD...I have prints and a CD for any digital files I may want...my hard drives thank me. I have set up my small enlarger in the upstairs bathroom and sometimes make B&W prints the old way even. It is not quite as much fun as I remember it being, but it is good to do occasionally. afirkin@afirkin.com wrote: > > I was lazing around in the heat over the weekend, catching up with my > reading and feeling a bit nostalgic.
