Glad you have found us. Your name implies female. If so, there are quite a number of simply outstanding female photographers here. That may or may not be important. But it might also just be good to know...
Tamara, I loved reading your blog as to "why" you're getting back into film. What immediately jumped out at me was the old Noritsu machine. My gosh, what a Déjà vu event for me. The Noritsu plant in Buena Park, CA. was a long time telecom customer of ours. I'd almost forgot about those being a top of line unit back in the day.......thanks for sharing your write up.
Welcome from the far 'burbs of Philadelphia. My Faire Spouse's siblings are in Indianapolis or nearby, so I have been there many times -- twice this past year actually. (Saw the Terra Cotta Warriors at the Children's Museum back in May and also an Ansel Adams exhibit at the Eiteljorg.)
