Yes, but I probably won't get it in -this- loop.  :(

Unless you want me to mount a couple of negatives ;)

Seriously, darkroom time has become rare for me lately. I've got
several B/W things I've been wanting to try to print (my family and
sister-in-law went to the butterfly pavillion a while ago, and when
I told her I shot some B/W she said, "No one would be stupid enough
to shoot butterflies in black and white". I intend to prove her wrong!  ;)

Not much. The big flood had what could have been some neat shots, but the
police and national guard cordoned of the area immediately. Their idea
of a "safe" distance was such as to make MF stereo with my equipment
impossible.  :(
