Piperbarb's 2013 Project 365

I looked one more time and think I have it! They are the things that you roll film on to put in the stainless steel cans so you can develop the negatives? I'm pretty sure this guess is the right one. None of the digital people would have a chance of getting this answer, only film users. I have developed many a roll of film using these both 35mm and 220 film. This brings back the good old days of spending hours in the darkroom. When I got out of high school back in 1970 one of the first jobs I had was working for a photographer using a Mamiya 330 professional taking pictures during the day and developing and printing them at night.

Okay, for all of you who got the mystery photo yesterday, here are the spools in context. For those of you who have developed film, this photo should be nostalgic. For those who have only been in the digital world, enjoy a bit of "old school." There are 3 35mm spools and 1 120/220 spool. They are flanked by 2 stainless steel tanks. The small tank can hold 1 120/200 spool or 2 35 mm spools. The larger tank can hold 2 120/220 spools or 4 35 mm spools.
I still have all my darkroom equipment, including two enlargers, and condenser enlarger and a diffusion enlarger. Oh, those were the days.
Actually, I love digital because I'm not spending all those hours sequestered away in a darkroom. With all my allergies and chemical sensitivities, I doubt I would be able to spend much time in a darkroom today. Digital has given me the ability to produce images without it affecting my health.

That would be some weird head of lettuce and I don't think very tasty, either.
I wouldn't want to eat at his house, although those pirogi's (spell check says this is correct Ted, but I don't think spell check is Polish) looked tasty!
I might try the pirogis, though. BTW, I have seen that word spelled so many different ways, I have no idea which form is actually correct.
I had a couple of those but they got icky fast, and would crack when dropped on a hard floor. They were a lot cheaper than the stainless ones, but the stainless ones were worth every penny. I have a bunch of the SS ones. It helped that I worked in a camera shop while in graduate school way back during the dark ages of the last century.

I don't care how it's spelled....... if somebody cooks 'em up, I'll eat 'em.
Around here, the ones made by the church ladies are the best. During the Lenten season, people stand on line on Fridays to get containers of them to go. Hmmmmm.... That sounds like a plan for Friday.

There's a Russian church that has festivals. I understand they have great pirogi. I wouldn't know because you can't get near the place. We went by one day and the sign was up. We were surprised because there was only a few cars in the parking lot. Well, it turned out they were closed and locked the doors minutes before we got there. Never tried again.

Yep. The Polish and other eastern European churches get 40 or 50 babushkas together and they all make pierogies. Non-stop. 5000, 6000, 10,000.

Not a great day, photographically, but I did get something. I just started knitting a scarf for the teacher aide in my classroom. She is transferring to a different department as of March 1st, so I decided I had better get started on the scarf. She has no idea.... yet. Her favorite color is grey.
