Thanks Guys!

Still no time to write up more motorcycle adventures. But it’s still a good day.

I checked my e-mail (which I don’t do very regularly). Turns out I got a handful of donations I hadn’t yet noticed.

Thanks!

*P.S. I try to send a personal e-mail for every donation but sometimes I don’t get them written. If I failed to send you a note, don’t think your donation wasn’t appreciated.


*P.S.2. A question for readers. What if on my next “adventure” I bring a single roll of film? I’m talking real 35mm film. Maybe even in black and white. Many fewer images but perhaps those few would have more soul? This spring I dusted off my old 35mm camera. I think it still works. I was thinking of “going backwards” in technology but just didn’t get my act together in time for film images on this particular trip. Even so, I didn’t take a huge number of “cell phone snapshots”. I had my hands full just keeping gadgets charged and also there’s just a lot of stuff you’ve got to handle when you’re doing solo stuff. I wasn’t exactly “touristing”. This trip, I was also mostly “in the moment”, often choosing to leave the cell phone (digital camera) tucked away so I could simply enjoying the view. I think it worked out well. Am I just pissing into the wind or is it a decent idea?

    If taking pictures with a real 35mm camera makes you happy, do it. They do seem to have a very different feel than the digital snaps, and I like them.

    B&W are especially cool, IMHO – the digital B&W snaps just don’t do it well enough.

    Good luck getting the film developed. You have to mail it in nowadays to only three (?) Processing centers in the US now.
    Do you do your own developing, or know somebody?
