So What Have You Done for Me Lately?


It's been a rough year financially, but I do what I can.  Unfortunately, what I can't do is get film processed ... or for that matter, buy more film.  Slowly, I've been working my way through the refrigerator (Why do I think there should be a D in that word?), using up old film I had stocked up on for various unfinished, undone or (rarely) overstocked projects.  I'm hoping that 20-year-old color neg stuff I was issued when a wire photog still processes.

Anyway, as I've mentioned, I still carry a Leica with me every day as I do TV work in Roanoke, Virginia, and I still shoot pictures when I see them.  However, until I find the cash to get the film processed, you won't see them.



So what the heck are these, you might be asking?  Look at them as promises of things to come.  On my other blog, the writing one, Cat Typing, I talked about getting an email from a photo agency asking, "What are you working on?"  You can pop over there via the link to find out my full answer, but the short version is: Not nearly enough.

However, I have messed about with a concept on the way in to the day (sort of) job in the early morning hours, using digital Nikon equipment.  So technically, for these pics, I'm not the Guy with the Leica, but just another guy with a Nikon.

Let's hope that I'll be able -- to use a term that amused a coworker no end once -- to make a photo dump from the Leicas here soon ...
