Jim those are cool. I especially like, Deepwater, The Cabin and Little 
Brewster. Will you downsize to 4"x5" when the freezer full
runs out? I guess that is a pretty decent supply that you have laid in. It's 
not like you are going to be using a motor drive or be
bracketing too wildly.

Have you ever considered making prints available for sale, like Doug Herr 
does, for example? I remember you said that you had an
exhibition a while back. It's just a little far to come to have a browse, 
from here.
Cheers
Hoppy

Thanks for looking Hoppy.

I've never shown the tugboat image to anyone except, a couple of years 
ago, to another LUGGER... because I didn't think that it was all that 
good to begin with, (just a tugboat, that's all) and wanted to get a 
second opinion... he agreed with me.

The owner, seen standing on the tugboat took me out on it a few days 
later, here are the photos that I took that day and earlier while the 
tug was still beached: <http://www.hemenway.com/BostonHarbor/>

No one makes 11x14 color film any longer, although I've heard that Kodak 
will if one orders at least $30,000 worth.

I have a freezer filled with about eighteen, ten sheet boxes of 
Ektachrome 100.  It should last me a few more years.

Jim
