Apparently my husband the ace reporter and photographer is NOT unique in his housekeeping and organizational habits. I'm debating whether to let him see these or not...

I keep telling him I'll come home someday and find him under a pile of newspapers and enlargements.

I'm surprised there aren't more broken/cracked glass plate negatives.

I sure would like to be left alone in that room for a day.

It would take at least a day to find anything. Man, look at that dust. I want to sneeze just looking at it.

That place would smell like old gold to me, Nate.
