Thanks Godfrey. As one with the inability to make decisions rapidly, like in a week or so, because of my ADD, I think, One the month before I moved I thought of hundreds of items to throw away. None of which I ran across before the actual day of the move. 26' U-Haul, packed to the ceiling and door.
Now I have the leisure of looking at each thing as I unpack it. Someone already has dibs on all the darkroom equipment at some point in the future. But portable studio lighting, also a Norman kit with two or three working heads, three or four reflectors, a couple of charging methods, all packed in a Large Zero Halliburton. Speaking of old Halliburton, I still have my 1970's Polaroid NCIS kit with everything you need for close-up and AF all in a anodized black aluminum Halliburton-like case. Old computers, Hard Drives from 180MB to 300GB that I no longer use, Every single CD/DVD that software either came on or was copied to since 1990, (OS-7 anyone?), all receipts for the past 5 years in one big box. Finally, but certainly not all, enough kitchen utensiliary for 5 houses. As it is not Friday, and because I haven't found them yet in the stacks of boxes, none of the above is for sale.
