Save the date! Tell a friend! My typical Open House is for real-estate, but NOT THIS ONE. Saturday November 9.

Heads up, keep, your eye on the ball!

My identity has changed a number of times over the decades. I started out as a photographer, then a small contractor, then an at-home dad, then (and still) a real-estate agent, and now also a camera collector, mini-rehabber and reseller.

Once in a while, somebody gives me an exquisite gift …. hence this battle-worn beast!

Whaaaat?

65 years ago in the bowels (uterus? no, bowels) of an East German camera engineering shop, weeks of arguments gave birth to the Pentacon Six ….

“Let’s make it huge…..double the size of other cameras .”
“Let’s make it really heavy. Like a boat anchor.”
“Let’s make it like a weapon.”
“Let’s make it ugly.”
“It will carry a lens named TELE-MEGOR …. cousin of Rodan, the flying reptile.”

Did they succeed?

Can you love a machine? Say NO, but then think back to your A) First car, B) First camera, C) Favorite power tool, D) Your BOAT . . .

Sometimes, great STUFF gives us the ability to DO GREAT STUFF... for others! At my little shop, my clients and I I LOVE this Epson P9000 printer. Glitch-free with amazing quality, color & versatility (including canvas). Archival artwork & photos to 44" wide and 8 feet!

When we complain about the cost of ink cartridges, think about this adorable beast - - 11 color cartridges, 350ML each, $125-$154 each. The good news: big cartridges last a long time.

Gift-giving time will approach soon. Have Meadow Vista Copy & Print scan & archive your artwork or photos, including restoring old/damaged images. www.MVCopyPrint.com

Simple pleasures of a small business. One of my printing clients sends me a check every few months for her projects, and she knows what delight I take in her handwriting.

Hello old-timers, my little shop has been asked to digitize the contents of old 8-track tapes. Inremember my first 8-track cartridge player in 1969 when I was in high school!

I have several used players that “should work” to create recordings, however …. I need to test them on “donor“ tapes, rather than on somebody else’s treasures!

Do you have any old cartridges laying around?

Message me if you want to subject them to scientific experimentation 🤣😉🤓

It's about LOVE. I'm finishing digital conversions of 15 videotapes. My customer recorded their wedding, birthdays, babies, Christmas, sports, vacations . . . and she said, "I'll spend the winter days with my shades drawn and lots of Kleenex. I can't wait!"

20-plus hours of memories are now in a simple USB flash drive.

BTW, the photobomber back there is a 24 X 36 canvas print, yep I do that too. That's all about love, too.

What do you have that's too important to lose? List of services at www.MVCopyPrint.com.
