đź“„ Corona update 3
It’s been a while since I wrote about “the situation”. In summary: we’re mostly at home, but not really quarantining ourselves.
Yesterday, I spontaneously acquired a new (used) darkroom enlarger that was on offer locally:
It’s a Kaiser VP-6000. And it included everything I need to make prints from 6x6 medium format negatives. So now I can finally start printing the photos I have been making with my Rolleiflex!
