Stirling is a volunteer at the Old Town Music Hall in El Segundo, CA. If you ever are in the area, try and catch a silent film there. A live organist accompanies the film, and the organ's pipes illuminate as they play.

We have three Metasequoia's on the property line with our neighbors behind our house. They were planted shortly before we moved in and they're in the mix with the Douglas Firs and Western Red Cedars. The Dougs drop cones but the Metasequoia propagates by sending shoots up from the roots. Every year, I'll trim the shoot off. It looks like the park took advantage of that growth by letting the shoots mature but restricting the height. There is one on the corner of the property and the only one that isn't blocked by the other conifers. It's about thirty years old and probably seventy feet tall. My joke is three hundred years from now, it'll be easy to find our house....Show more →
Online claims they are very fast growing, and that they loose their needles in the fall. There is a Youtube showing them in fall colors - so I plan another visit about mid October. This whole park is full of odd plants, but the kids have been killing them off by carving into their bark (threatened Beech), and some of the varieties don't like being climbed, and die. I feel bad, because I shot a huge extended family of about 30 people in one of them, and now only it's main upright bones remain. It use to be a huge fan shape, but on only one plane. (photo)

I bought some Foma 100, if I shoot it at 50 and give it to my lab to develop normally do I get some less contrasty results than at 100?
No, you'll just get 'normal' looking results.
I find that all Foma films seem to be overrated by one stop. So Foma 100 is actually 50, 200 is 100, 400 is 200.

Amazing shot: Truly captures the dream-like vision of a night-walk, and the colours are just so interesting, avoiding the sepia look of incandescent lighting! And all that with 100 ASA slide-film: You have my respect.
Thank you so much.
I had no clue if this would work or not, and out of the 12 or so shots I took of the scene, this was the only keeper lol.
