>you can't work at all?
Actually I was being sarcastic, since I had said a mean-spirited thing in
the previous thread ("word is out...") I found it ironic that I would be
"punished" the same day with the Kodachrome news. Really I am beyond
bitterness (I blew that circuit in the days of Celluoidall, now over ten
years ago). I am excited to try new films, sick in fact of Kodachrome (I
still have a bunch of Kodachrome 25 left, and it is burdensome, such
excruciating beauty combined with the knowledge that this is the last of it,
last of an era actually). I eschew bitterness and find happiness in life in
general: romance, food, family, travel, friends. Generally I don't give
much thought to these technology issues anymore. I adore carrying around my
Bolex, it's always a conversation piece--I like the attention (most of the
time). But no, I wont go digital. My problem really is money, I need a
decent job, with health insurance, and enough disposable income to shoot and
print every once in awhile. Do you know of anything? I would be beyond
grateful for any leads.

I do miss Stan terribly. During the time I knew him, he had a way of making
sense out of everything. He unified opposition, you'd never walk away from
him confused, neither would you be persuaded to deny or abandon what your
muse demanded.
