I continually spend time with my old "friends", selecting from my collection 
as
the mood
dictates.  It's so enjoyable to interact with them.  The DSLRs I use during 
the
week are only acquaintances; I can accept them, but don't love them.

Saturday, I made fiber prints (Leica shots) in the darkroom (love being in
there) that are
being accepted into the Milwaukee Art Museum's permament collection, and 
finally
enlarged a picture I took with my Pentax 6x7 in 1999 (I'm patient), of 
railroad
shops
awaiting demolition near Milwaukee's Miller Park.  Looking at these 
negatives,
I told myself I've got to get out with this camera more often.  I have about 
20
rolls of Verichrome Pan left; I alternate with FP4, depending on subject.
