Hey Christine

'tis the Indian summer of film. Really. The gorgeous MX will be around 
for decades yet, but heaven forbid, if something untoward happens, there 
are still wonderful technicians to get it in order. Film technology is 
at its peak, and developer/fixer chemicals are still reasonably 
accessible and fresh.

Darrel glows on film.

I have a few rolls of XPAN Tmax in by bathroom right now. And I'm 
listening to some late Richard Strauss
