My wonderful Macbook is sadly lacking in hard drive space, being that it only has 60gb. And when I can fill up a 2gb card on my camera in a day or two… it doesn’t take long to run out. So I bought a 120gb external hardrive. It’s a small portable one, and needs only a USB cable to run…no extra power or anything. It’s über handy.

In the process of moving my pictures from my laptop to my new external, and also moving pictures from my backup external to my new one, I discovered some pictures that I had taken a while ago in need of ‘dusting’. So here they be.

Today I acquired a box of darkroom chemicals from Terry Schwarze, a retiring photography professor at Winona State University. He gave me some tips about how to use them, and some books of his that he thought might help me out. As an added bonus, he gave me some good, solid film holders for both medium format film and larger format. Needless to say, I am excited about my prospects in the darkroom.

Very soon I will be developing and printing my photographs from the pictures I take with the Pentax 645. I also will be developing some large format film for my friend Peter Boysen, as he has a large format camera to shoot with. I’m sure I will have some lovely photos for you all very soon.

Saving the best for last, as always, I present you with my people piktures from Thanksgiving. This wraps up my string of Thanksgiving posts, hope you enjoyed.
