Just got back from Nelson Photo (no relation) where I bought some more canned air and TXP, and from Lightbulbs Unlimited where I got a 600W halogen bulb for one of my hot lights.

I cleaned the dust off the hot lights earlier, as I really only use one sometimes for travel and the others just hang there on the wall. I'll be using two tonight for the shoot. I still haven't figured out exactly how I'm going to light the girl, but the usual studio plan of bouncing one light off a white wall isn't going to be good enough. I need a very soft source close enough to her to keep the duvatine she'll be on very black. Ideally that would be a huge softbox pointing down about three or four feet above the stage. Soft boxes for hot lights are very bulky, and I want a solution that will travel well (without igniting), so I'm still working on that.

Today's shoot will be no more than 14 frames of 4x5 and maybe one roll of 6x7 for the I.D. picture and a bit of backup.

Stopped in at the new Java Joe's on 9th between Market and G Streets for breakfast. Nice place.

This is the lovely Angela, alone this time, on some of the more recently scanned film. I still have so much more to process and scan it's a little ridiculous.
