Same, except I haven't been generating much new work.  Everything I've
been working on lately is from reams of old slides and negatives.  I'm
still trying to replace all the gear that got stolen from me (I was an
idiot, didn't have insurance) a couple years back.
Leica gear and rail cameras are a bit beyond my means at the moment to replace.

I send out negatives when

I usually just scan, correct, and profile transparencies and
send 'em out for a light-jet print.  Even though they're on the flashy
side, I do like being able to get Ilfochrome prints from files.  Then
again, sending out negs is fewer generations of decay than scan, then
manipulate, then print.

Got the tube amp, but my speakers aren't all that great.  All of
my audio stuff was scavenged when I was living in the Bay.

I'll check it out when I'm not somewhere public.
