   Love it! I have to say that you do so well using film negatives, they are the most challenging to use!

   @roaringtree Thank you again for your kind comments! I think it helps to have thick, large format photos. I had a bit of a struggle with medium format and haven't tried 35mm yet. My first tries with in camera haven't been successful and I think I'll wait until spring before I try again...J.

   @lomodesbro Hi Des! This is a photo of a wooden model of the "Elsie", a Gloucester (New England, Mass.) fishing schooner circa 1910. I built it some time ago. The keel isn't noticeable in the print and this is one instance where the print is a heck of a lot more interesting then the actual photo. The print gives the model some life and leaves the impression that it is actually a ship at sea, at least to me it does. I did a great job on the sails and pendants to give the impression of them blowing in the wind. I was told that modelers didn't put sails on ships because the never come out convincing but I'm glad I tried...J.
