Hi - I am good, and I hope the negatives are as well. I will know later this week. Sorry to keep you and everyone on hold.

Thank you for your patience. Thanks to our illustrious and colorful leader (I mean, in the orange sense, and not in personality), work is as busy as ever, with 16-18 hour days for weeks on end at one point. I will go down to the lab that has the film processed now for several weeks and pick it...

Hey all - finally got around to taking the last two shots this weekend! :smile: Thanks for the friendly poke, toro! Off for developing it goes now. I will scan the journal and then send everything, including the box to Rick. Hope everyone is well. Regards, Shawn

Well, look what I found!!! It took over four years, but we've somehow managed to bring another camera back home! How we manage to complete these things is perplexing! I opened the box briefly last night to make sure everything was in tact, and all is just perfect. The camera, wrapped as no...

Hello all - still alive. The camera is too. As they say - my bad. Steve (Newt_On_Swings) is sending me the camera now after weeks and weeks of waiting for me to free up some time to meet him. So thank him for keeping the flame alive, and I will let you know as soon as it appears! Happy...

Hey all: I will meet up with Steve (Newt_on_Swings) when I return from vacation last week of August. I appreciate everyone's patience. Yes, Theo - I will photograph everything and post it as soon as possible. I will save the box for whoever wanted to keep it (have to check back in the...

Thanks, Steve. This is SUPERB news!! Our handoff will have to be either this Thursday (8/16) or Friday (8/17), or I'll catch up with you after returning from vacation during the week of 8/27-31. We waited four years, so what's another 14 days, right? Regards, Shawn

What are these "several 35mm cameras that allow such"? Are they 35mm handheld SLRs?

Hey Ron - funny! Can you imagine? If I recall, Steve usually shoots large format. So who knows how long he will take to take his shot(s) on this camera! I will ping him now. Regards, Shawn

Hi - yes, and thank you! Meant to get the camera out to you this weekend, but will do so sometime this week. Thanks & regards, Shawn

Yes - it is expensive, even in the U.S. About $25 a roll sounds about right, all in, for mounted slides returned to you. BUT... no other photographic endeavor I've ever undertaken has matched the breathtaking wonder of looking at a well-exposed slide on a good loupe and lightbox. My print film...

Wow - this is must be the recent world champion of Holga pictures. Very nicely done. Love the grain and tone, and the composition is superb.

Until we hear from her, I'll vouch for Síle, who never says no to these things. Actually, she just never says no. :D As to film choices, should probably keep it ISO 400. In my freezer, I have Tri-X, Acros 100 (B&W), a bunch of 400 & 800 Color, and Provia 100 & Velvia 50 slide film. Let's...

Since you are the first on the list, it is definitely revived :D !! Can you do me a favor and PM me your full name, address, and email address? I will send you the camera by next week. As to the other participants, we'll make it up as we go along when we have to. Regards, Shawn
