I am curious about something: Is anyone still shooting on film? My favorite camera is, and will always be, my Nikon FM2. Manual everything, and built
very solidly. And there is just something special about Kodak Tri-X film, which you can still purchase.
Of course, the huge advantages of the digital revolution cannot be overlooked. No processing, all those chemicals gone. Just upload your work to your
computer, and have at it. Etc,,,

Yea, that's what he thought! The look on his face was classic.
Great stoves though. Elegantly simple and a flame like a blowtorch. One of these days, I'll replace it I guess ... but I'm in no hurry.

I can't see any reason for replacing a piece of kit that is this good, when you do the weight math a lot of modern stoves end up weighing just as much once when you add fuel.
I like my Trangia stoves but the heat output of the SVEA is better.

Don't remember shooting any film since getting the Nikon, which was replaced three cameras ago. All of which have been small/light enough to easily carry on bike rides.

I shot film from 1971 through 95 and later. But I'm all digital now. The cost is a huge factor. It gives me freedom to try things. The quick feedback is also great.
But I miss hands on, so I've been making cyanotypes. But with digital negs. I shoot on my Nikon, and print negs on an inkjet, then make cyanotypes using chemistry I mix and paper I coat. For me it's the best of both worlds.
here's a cheapo cell photo of a framed cyanotype I made of my co-workers.

I was one of the last holdouts, but honestly, digital is far superior in just about every way.
About all I miss from the chemical days is the magic of seeing the image appear on the paper, and all the beers we used to drink on a night of making prints.

You lead a tough life, Vic, I feel for you with what you have to put up with in life. No one should have to live with such conditions......

That poor guy, never allowed the opportunity to enjoy the thrill of riding through a winter wonderland on his bicycle. He is truly deprived of a fundamental joy for all tri, bi, and uni, cyclists...

Yea, I was thinking about my good fortune this morning.
I love the mountains. I love the beach. I've never been able to choose one over the other. I'm lucky enough to live near the beach and see it every weekday morning and afternoon on my commute. And I'm also lucky enough to spend weekends in the mountains.
Yesterday was particularly amazing, as everything came together. We have a pretty good swell in from the storms in the Northwest. Santa Ana winds giving us warmer weather and hollowing out the waves. You could hear school age teens whooping and hollering encouragement to each other out in the water. And wispy clouds overhead, lit on fire by the rising sun, throwing orange light everywhere. Just flippin amazing.

Now he's just rubbing it in... The fog/haze in the second pic is nicely artistic.

It was a big foggy this morning. It's a little easier to see in this one:
What yo can't see is how awesome the waves have been of late. That storm generating all the rain in the Northwest is generating some great surf hereabouts. A good 10+ feet. On top of that, we have pseudo Santa Ana conditions, so there is an on-shore breeze hollowing the waves out. Every morning, I hear high school kids whooping and hollering out there having a good time. I used to surf ... I know how they feel.
Here is one from a few days ago ... the surf was about 2x as big this AM.
