Mamiya 7II
Last summer I bought the much hyped and hard to get Fuji X100 camera as a little carry around camera. After using it I instantly determined that, while the files it produces are very nice, the camera itself is infuriating to use. As I noted on my trip to New York City, even though the X100 was with me everywhere I went, I used my iPhone instead.

I’ve been spending the last week printing a new portfolio for an upcoming trip to New York. I forget how long it takes to print out all those images when you’re as anal as I am about prints. A lot of these are prints I’ve made before so you’d think I’d have everything ready to go. But not for me, I’m always fidgeting with images even after I’m done with them.

I like where it’s at but now I’m trying to decide if I should have a retoucher give a pass at these images.
