I picked up my drum today. I have been talking about wanting one for a while now, and when some money came my way, my wife told me to just do it. So I asked Mike Dangeli to make one on, with 5 orcas on it to represent my family, my wife and our two kids, and my eldest Jade.

A while ago, I learned about a way to modify a Hasselblad A24 film back, to give it an XPan ratio, and you can produce 27 frames in a roll of 120. I intend to get a back modifyed for this camera
So, here you see a full image, and then you can see how I previsualized the image.
