I spent the weekend on the rails with friends. Saturday was wet & windy, but Sunday was much nicer. The motorcar ran well. It was a good end to the season.

Cotton Valley open day
Back in August I did some filming at the CVRTC open house. I'm very happy with the results but neglected to post them here before now.

Long day. New bed.
Done.
The ceiling fan purrs quietly. The dog snores at my feet. The MacBook warms my lap as the Moon Beam ticks softly next to me. For the first time in ages, I am all caught up. The bills are paid, the invoices are mailed, the laundry is drying. Bags are packed, equipment is loaded for… Continue reading Done.

No bleeping, dinging, or buzzing phones. No television or YouTube. No scanner, no pager, no IAmResponding alerts. No voices, no footsteps,… Continue reading Saturday

The local guys do a great job of maintaining the lines and keeping the lights on; however, there's not much… Continue reading Here I go again…
It’s definitely not Kodachrome…
I spent a bit of time in the darkroom this afternoon, organizing and labeling the film stash. Clockwise from top left: slide films, black and whites, C-41 color, and a few oddballs like chromogenic B/W and infrared. Plus that one random reload in the antique Kodachrome can in the lower left corner. I wish I… Continue reading It’s definitely not Kodachrome…
The Eagle Has Landed
The headhouse at Wildcat Mountain has always reminded me of a spaceship. July 21, 2017. Agfa Viking folder, Lomo Earl Gray film, HC110(B) 6:00.
