Word on the street (and at photo.net) is that CostCo will print high quality, large, 8″ x 12″ or 12″ x 18″, photographs from digital files in an hour for $1.99 and $2.99, respectively. Doesn’t this seem absurdly inexpensive?! A call to CostCo confirmed the pricing, though they said they can only do prints in under an hour if you bring them fewer than 100 at a time. Apparently people routinely request thousands of prints. No worries there…
I’m gonna bring in some pictures tonight and see how they come out.

I got a chance to scan in photos from Friday’s trip to Great Meadows. You can see them here. The two that I posted earlier are really about as good as they get, but the others aren’t bad. I’m definitely happier with these images than the ones from Ipswich River.
It’s Restaurant Week in Boston. If there’ll take a last minute reservation (it’s often pretty booked up by now), a bunch of us are going to either Upstairs on the Square or Sandrine’s on Thursday night for a (relatively) inexpensive, sure-to-be-good meal. If I’m around next year, I’ll plan ahead and make reservations at Icarus, a place I’ve always wanted to try.

Well, both Dan and I managed to get up at the appointed time, and we had a very successful time taking pictures at Great Meadows. I got all three rolls of print film and one roll of slide film developed today, but haven’t had time to scan most of them. I’ll leave you with two teasers and a promise to scan the rest soon. (They’re big files – sorry.)

Somehow, Dan and I agreed to meet up tomorrow morning before sunrise to take some photos. I think it might have even been me who suggested it. Yikes!
Really, though, I’m quite looking forward to it – we’re headed to Great Meadows in Concord to watch the sunrise and see what we can see.

I seem to, on a fairly regular basis, forget how important it is for me to get lots of exercise. I spent almost all of Sunday inside, and didn’t get out on Monday. Not-so-mysteriously, I was pretty grumpy on Sunday, Monday and yesterday during the day. After biking to Waltham, playing a relatively intense frisbee game, and biking back to Davis last night, I felt great!
