In case anyone was wondering...
« on: August 09, 2016, 01:33:59 PM »
I am still here...   I just got pre-occupied with a growing family and a long hours job...  the family situation will just keep growing - however I'm hopefully resolving the job situation shortly so possibility I might appear a bit more.

Excuse the hastily scanned photos - I have had to reinstall all my Photo software and cant remember how to use either Elements or Vuescan...  let alone spend time removing dust etc

Anyway  - these were shot on Impossible film on a 680 SLR

Ada  - the brand new rice

Emmy - the OG rice child

and finally the Family

Congratulations Damion  :)  Clear to see that your girls got their looks from mum  ;)

Lovely photos, BTW.  Good to see that TiP film is starting to produce half-decent results.  Hope the work situation is resolved to your satisfaction.  I have never been a parent but, everyone I know who has kids is invariably and significantly stretched, time wise.

ha!   Thanks

I think we are all agreed they are lucky for Moms genes.  Although they do both have a little chin which, as my niece once wrote in her homework, is very much from me!

yeah between the family and 6 hours of commuting a day I have little time left for much else.   All being well that 6 hours will hopefully drop to 1.5 / 2 a day so will be great!

6 hours??!! I thought I was up against it with 1:45 each way  :o  You won't know what to do with all the extra time - aside from sleep......

A big congrats to you and especially your wife :)

And also glad to see you popping in!
I sure hope you get to shorten that train ride... This would definitely be a killer for me as I can't sleep on a commuter train...

Many congrats on the burgeoning family. Judging from Ada's pic it looks like you have a couple of ready at hand models ;D

Always glad to see you pop in! Lovely family! I'm glad that IP has gotten it together enough to allow you to take that beautiful third shot!

Thanks all!

On a more technical note I'm starting to like the IP film more, it does seem to be getting better and I also got one of the frog tongue things that fixes to the camera which makes a real difference.  It still isn't as good as pola film and has some unexpected results in strong sunlight, but its a real step in the right direction.

Just the better colors is already a big step.
