I used to hate printing other people's pictures with an enlarger.

I visit most all the circles of hell, and spend time buying drinks in purgatory too. I always bring my camera and I try to have everyone I come upon say, 'cheese'; I point and click, and then move on.

Now, say, 'CHEEEEEEESE'.

Thank you.

I hate testing cameras and lenses.. shooting test shots, developing test shots, even viewing test shots. It's all so tedious! I just want things to work! Unfortunately it's a reality of older gear. :bang:

Scrubbing the silver stains out of trays left out too long.

The more I see scanning on this list the more I think I will let my local lab scan my films at hi res for $11. A small price for sanity.

... trying to get a decent B&W conversion from digital files. I still can't get a digital-to-mono conversion that looks like my HP5 scans!
