Here I am cheating on my darkroom with a digital camera.
Stopped at a Barnes & Noble on my way back from Cheesecake Factory (no, really!). I noticed that the new release book covers seemed to be designed by the same team. Others noticed too. It’s the “book blob”. www.printmag.com/book-cove…
And whenever I think I was cool, I remember this photo of my dad, taken in Hawaii when he was 50.

1964 Hermes 3000. It’s not a light typer, but it feels good because it’s so solid.

I’d probably be invited to more parties if I had this Spinnerette Turntable from Third Man Records.
Pulled the Hermes 3000 out of storage but it had a dead ribbon. Surprisingly, I had a new ribbon on hand.
