Today was a great day. We started off waiting for Frank the driver, so Evan could pay rent for her apartment. Next it was off for street pastries and to pick up my negatives. After one pass through Heathrow, I am developing all my film before I travel, they wouldn't hand check anything. (The terrorists won.) Anyway, after that it was off to the Michael museum, which was short, but was worth the trip on its own. Seeing those 7 or 8 foot lithographs on cheap paper in person was amazing. I think if I ever was a billionaire, those are the originals I would try to collect.

So, I know the Hasselblad is still new (to me), but, I found an upgrade that I really needed to do. My 500c/m still had the original focusing screen in it. Which, having not ever used one before was ok, and I was able to see through it to what I was shooting, but, sometimes I felt that it was hard to find the focus correctly. So I went looking, and found myself a split-ring/microprism focusing screen. Well, this also sort of necessitated me moving to the Accute-Matte screen. Man, it is night and day difference.
