I’m finally getting through various equipment issues – the Leicaflex is back from repair, the enlarger is aligned, the broken Rodagon enlarging lens is on its way back to Germany for repair, and my friends at National Camera hooked me up with a Nikor 80mm lens to do some medium format work in the mean time. It was really satisfying printing that first 6×6 negative and having something real come out of it.

Now the problem is I’ve made a bunch of 11×14″ prints that I can’t scan to share. I setup a makeshift copystand to take pictures of them for now, but they kind of suck, so I’ll be making some smaller prints to share this weekend.

Nine Inch Nails puts on a helluva show. I first saw the video for Wish on MTV way back in the summer of 1991, and finally saw them live during the Fragility 1.0 tour, in the Spring of 2000. NIN does not dissapoint – even though this show was rescheduled due to illness, they made it up with a well over 2 hour show tonight.
