It's Monday night, which means I'm having a few beers while assessing what has passed and what's next. Most of last week was devoted to developing and scanning the ten (10) rolls of film I shot the weekend prior.

Kodak Ultramax 400 |
My parents came down for a visit and we did do the rare touristy thing this time around and went to a couple Monuments on Sunday afternoon. I wanted to concentrate on spending time with my parents so I put my Olympus XA in my pants pocket with a roll of Kodak Ultramax. That camera is so tiny and a true pocket cam. My hand dwarfs it. Sharp lens though and is technically a fully manual rangefinder. The Japanese! What will they think of next???

Ready for the streets |
I also managed to go out and have a few 4x6's printed for a small portfolio I have to put together for this weekend's
Adam Marelli Photo Workshop in NYC. It's sooo so so much easier to organize a small collection with prints than stare at a computer screen. The keepers really stood out. I'm feeling pretty good about my stuff so far this year.

Small Prints |
April is Cherry Blossom season in Washington, DC and here is the one cherry blossom photo I will have on my blog this year. Actually, I don't think this is even a cherry blossom, but I like it.
