A phlog entry with no photo

Here's a phlog entry with no photo, which effectively makes this a pure blog (in my books anyway). Recently, I've been shooting a lot more medium format photos on film, even getting through 4 rolls and a bit in the 3 weeks we were in Spain, Luxembourg, Germany then back to Spain during the Christmas holidays. However, I've fallen terribly behind in getting my 120 films scanned as a consequence of what started out as a brilliant plan.

The idea was to position the scanner permanently on the shelves behind me, with a very long Firewire cable snaking back to the Mac. Shelves in place, everything organised, scanner in position, power cords carefully tucked out of sight... and I spend few fruitless weeks afterwards discovering that apparently... you can't get a Firewire cable several meters long. :( Well, I shall triumph somehow.
