Sorin is the proprietor of Eurotech in Austin, which is a camera repair shop. To my knowledge, he’s the only employee, and he does great work. Funny thing is, he really doesn’t have much interest in photography itself… I guess it’s the tinkering that he enjoys. He had begun making bellows the last time I visited him, so I asked him to hold it during the photo.

I’m going to see him tomorrow, as the 135mm lens on my new(ish) enlarger decided to start spitting out aperture blades. And lucky me, Fotofest is less than two weeks away. This is why it’s fortunate that I have, count them, TWO large format enlargers.

Oh, and for those of you who think I probably spend way too much money on photography, I’ll have you know that I spent less than $600 on supplies, $84 on film processing and less than $500 on equipment during 2005. Well, that is, if you don’t count the dry mount press… which would have been $400. Still, it’s a wonder I produced any new images at all with a budget like that. =)
