i use only film. 95% of my work is black and white. in formats including 35mm, 6x6, 6x7, 5x4 and 5x7
the only colour film i like to use is ektachrome on snowy days and agfa ct18, of which i have a freezer full.


Trouble with that, is when the power goes off for a while, the film partially thaws out, and then when it comes back on ... you find you have spots on it ...

Is this the kind you have to fill with gasoline?

Or do you have one of those things buried in the ground, that stores the electricity - and then releases it, when there's no longer an original source?

Oh, okay, WJ ... that's the SMART way to do it, huh?

How long does the stored energy last?

Or - has that never been a concern to you?

That's great, WJ ... is that a special quality you have? ... knowing whether your generator is happy, or not?

A sixth sense, huh?
