Photography Hour

Angelika In the meantime, I am referred to as the "Egglady" at the darkroom, since seven of my still life paintings with eggs have been exhibited (I mentioned this in the last newsletter). The only problem is that I have moved past my egg phase and have switched to self-portraits. We'll see what kind of nickname comes from that. I am still thriving in my monitor job in the darkroom. It's a lot of fun and ideal in that I can combine my passion for photography and teaching. Of course, I still go to the Tenderloin twice a week to see the children (some of you asked about this in your letters), after all, I was voted Volunteer Number One before the summer holidays, and that kind of thing comes with responsibilities.

I'm quite busy, actually. I don't think I could work 40 hours anymore, because then I wouldn't be able to fit in photography, which has become a pretty important part of my life that I don't want to be without. Michael always groans because one camera is no longer enough for me, and I'm eyeing a large format camera since they produce a larger negative. However, they are prohibitively expensive, like the Mercedes of cameras, so to speak.
