Several years ago, after I moved here to Alaska, I sold off my
darkroom. Included in that sale was a bunch of paper stock, new and
old. Some dated back to the 1940s. I ended up also getting rid of a
few collectibles that I got from an old camera store about 25 years
ago. I have a few of those things left, but clearing out the old film
stocks was painful, but necessary. Fortunately, it went to a good home
of a professional artist.

These days, I've embracing a couple of fun midlife crisis things which
are only now starting to morph back towards photography. Post
covid/divorce YOLO.
