First off, I'm jealous. Nice camera! I'd like to pick up an old M3 or M4 as that's all I can afford.

Love the coffee cup!

A Holga may be fun to keep in your glove box.

I shoot with a Bronica S2A and many vintage 35mm, because I like how the prints turn out. I agree the dark room is a wonderful place. This is a hobby of mine. I am not professional.

Care to see a scooter in a different way . . .

Have you read Vespa Vagabond's blog? She is a professional photographer that took a 2 month scoot ride across the USA.

great, as I expected, by the way.
I really would like to have a closet to process film. My girlfriend has it, but she lives 100 miles from me, and until we go and live together I have to wait once every two weeks to get my hands on rodinal, tanks, ilford rapid fixer and *fun* ! 😉
what kind of film are you currently using? I’m an Ilford lover but cannot stop opening my eyes wide in front of some Kodak exposures… I simply don’t like their policy but they make good film indeed…

You really got that barn and tree shot right – rural, stark, winter. Brrr made me shiver!

I really like the farm photo. It has the feel of Winter.

Have fun,

Brent: Working with film in the camera and in the darkroom is a satisfying experience especially weighed against the digital processes I find myself engaged in on a near daily basis.

It has been a treat for me as well.

phil: I only occasionally ride with a camera around my neck. It does get uncomfortable. And a G9 in my pocket works but I still have to de-glove to get to the thing.

Black and white film is the same deal, same time to shoot, but I don't get that instant feedback of digital. I have to go through all the magical processes to see what I get. I still get excited looking at wet negatives for the first time...

Black and White pictures "Wow" that is a treat. I still like black and white photography - goes back as when I was into B&W using my Canon AV-1 camera (brand new and just came out)..pure delight. On riding scooter I often hang my digital EOS around my neck but that becomes very uncomfortable. I find using a camera like the size of a G9 much easier to handle and to take pictures. I guess its time for me to dust off my old cameras and buy some B&W film. Off the saddle can be very rewarding when playing for a picture scene.
Now to the coffee shop and go into some deep thoughts on the matter.

Steve, I've said before, you have a great eye. But this ... this is a nice treat. B&W film in a digital world. Keep 'em coming.
