Originally posted by dwinnert I'll get an image of the contraption one of these days. But in reality it's like a chair with arms, with a seat that is about 3' wide. I pull the seat off and then it folds.
Hm. I have some broken wooden/fabric folding chairs (director chairs, if you know what I mean) hanging about, I wonder if that would work, with a little tweaking. I've been meaning to fix them, but they're old enough that if someone then sat in them, they'd probably just go and break again!

It sounds like we're doing about the same thing, then. And taking about the same length of time to do it!

Ah, film! I really must get one my old film bodies out, it's a whole different ballgame. Stupid question - why did you use colour film and convert to b&w? Was it just what you had in the camera, and you changed your mind?
I've been reasonably happy with my digital b&w conversions, but I still prefer the stuff I did with b&w film. But there's no way I'm going back into the darkroom!
That's a very graceful flower, and I find I prefer the colour version - the brown background brings out the lovely creamy colour in the blossom. But I do like the way it seems to float in space in the b&w version. Both are great.
