Well it's been quite a while since my last entry. I've been busy and haven't been getting any film developed digitally - I ahve a bunch of stuff in negative sleeves, though, from the ICV program I'm in currently [and greatly enjoying]. I have a few quick things to say..

My neighbors, my very generous neighbors, have given me a Ricoh Multi-Program XR-P out of the blue with a 200mm Macro/zoom lense. It's georgous and works beautifully. That's the end of my problems operating my camera in the cold. Anyways, I'll be sure to get a roll of film I shoot in it developed soon. It might be developed without a CD, however, but that brings me to my next point.

The same people who gave me the camera have given me an idea for a small business. A lot of people, and I mean a lot, used film cameras (even if just point-and-shoot cameras) before digital and have hundreds, maybe thousands of negatives still left in the fronts of dozens of photo envelopes. Most don't know and ahve never thought of the possibility of digitalizing those negatives. My plan is to, basically, purchase a professional film scanner and make it possible for them - for a cost. Of course the scanner could run me anything between $200 and $1000, so there's an investment to be made. I think I'll be going for it, though, and I'll let you guys know how it goes.

So I probably won't be putting up too many pictures over the next few weeks just as I haven't for the past little bit. When I do get this scanner, though, I'll be scanning in hundreds of negatives and submitting the decent ones. I'll keep you posted.
