As you can see, that is quite a list. Quite.
So the dillema is, what do I show? I mean, I thought I would have something new for November, but I’m not sure that will happen. I’d like to have a back-up plan.
What do you think of the two images above as a pair?  Are they stupid?  You can totally tell me if you think they’re stupid.  I promise I won’t get upset. They’re stupid right?  Am I going to totally embarrass myself?

Should I make some ambrotypes?
