From a Farther Room

Featured on the Daily Dickinson site.

I’ve got some color film at the developer’s, and a couple rolls of black and white in the basement, so more seasonally-appropriate pictures are on their way … Meanwhile, a couple things to note this weekend:

• Merlin’s Rest grand opening: the Irish-Scottish-Welsh-what-have-you pub on the corner of 36th and Lake makes it official today, Saturday, April 28, 2007. There will be music, Irish dancers, a ribbon cutting, and good beer.
• World Pinhole Day is this Sunday, April 29, 2007: dust off your box and expose it to a little light. It should be a bright, sunny day here in Minnesota, ideal conditions for pinhole pictures, so I’m looking forward to taking out the modified Hawkeye. Last year was rainy and overcast, and I managed to get just one blurry tulip shot in the alley.
• Choo Choo Bob’s Train Movies at the Riverview Theater: there’s still time to run over to the Choo Choo Bob’s and get a ticket for the 11:00 showing today, April 28, of another collection of train films for the young and young-at-heart.
