Before having to go out on the road for the week, I took my son to Madison's children's museum. It's a glorious place for a kid to play and learn.
Anyway, I'm chasing him around with my ZI Contessa (a roll of Reala in it at the time...
just try ISO 100 & 45/2.8 indoors. Thankfully many rooms have windows which let in a decent amount of extra light so some of them may come out. (I forgot my flash at home... argh.) My son began playing with a little girl & as I turned to see where he was I noticed her father was chasing her with a Hassy & a nice potato masher flash (w/softbox). We spent awhile talking about cameras, discovered we both do LF though we both agree that 8x10 is just too expensive until all children have graduated from university... and in general bored his wife silly
No great importance to it, it was just nice to see someone shooting 1) film & 2) 220 at that & 3) a nice older Hassy kit being used. If it weren't for that exquisite Miniature Speed Graphic I now have, I might have regretted letting a different Hassy go after seeing him today
I did tell him about this place. He's been here before when he owned a Koni-Omega, hopefully he'll come back.
