Today, June 6th, 2019 is the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of France during WWII that eventually lead to the end of that terrible war.

Memory Pods, copyright 2019 Douglas Stockdale Last month I wrote about acquiring a 32e (32mm) extension tube for my Hasselblad to continue my Memory Pods project.
