The Coffee House

[snowbear115 46]

Should be fuel for some nice photo sessions.

Oh, yes, but like this "quickie" with the macro, I'll stick to shooting the commercial ones until I get a hang of tying.

Good morning, Hosers.

I'm roasting coffee and mentally preparing myself for today. We have 6 people coming over after bedtime for NYE festivities. I need to hit the grocery and the packy, and get to some prep work.

I'm also searching eBay and other places for a TLR camera. Because...if I'm gonna shoot a roll of film each month with a theme, I should probably find a camera who can only do 12 frames

You could always get a 100' roll and load 12. I have a spare Watson loader, somewhere.

That's a lot better then anything I could do. I've tried it a few times but it seems that I'm all thumbs and no patience. In the end I give up in frustration and go buy them.

But then I don't get a new camera??? Haha

If you are referring to the photo, thank you. The fly is in a 9" surgical clamp, braced on a chair back. Shot with the pop-up flash, 1/200 @ f/4, ISO100.

If you are referring to the fly (a #16 Adams, I think), thank Orvis.

@JonA_CT I have a couple of 35's that I pulled out of the drawer, cleaned up, put in fresh batteries, and even ordered film, but I've yet to complete shooting the first roll of film. I'm somewhat annoyed at myself as I'm not sure why, maybe it's just my aversion to change. LOL I've really thought hard about a 4x5 field camera but I'm afraid it would end up sitting on a shelf like the other two.

They are not mutually exclusive! I have a 10% off email coupon from KEH that I'm not going to use, but it expires today. PM sent.

This one is mine. I need to be a little more sparse on the hackle.

Dave doesn't know from fly fishing.
Sister is here but asleep.
Dave never got into deep REM sleep.
He doesn't FEEL that bad because of it.
If there is milk enough Dave will likely eat cereal.

My mustache froze this morning while I was sweeping the snow off the cars and the walk.
