Voted yesterday for Tom Dannan yesterday and took my old negatives I took with a disposable camera in August 1987 in Paris, France to have developed by owner Egan Del of his own Annandale Photo & Camera shop to be made into photos for me of precious moments of my past etching at Atelier 17, 10 rue Didot, 75014, Paris, France. Hurry and get Tongan Del to make copies of negatives as he is one of the very last stores doing this, and plans to close soon!

Made it just in time! I am hoping to get a call today from owner @EganDel of his store in Annandale @AnnandalePhotoAndCamera at 7044 Columbia Pike, Annandale, VA 22003, tel 703-750-2501 annandalephoto@gmail.com. Egan and I had a heart-to-heart conversation of negatives and getting them made into photos. Egan taught me a whole lot about the history and what has happened to bring the whole business of using a camera and film to make negatives then photos . The business of cameras and films is like that of dinosaurs - virtually extinct! SO: if you have old negatives that you want to have photos made from, especially old negatives like mine from August 1987, get them to Egan ASAP so he can do that before he closes shop. Egan has one of the very last stores open doing this, unlike CVS that will take the negatives and have them made into photos and get them back in thirty days! No more one-hour prints ready for you to pick up. That ended in 2008 , according to Egan, and Covid put the final nail into the coffin to seal it and most all stores doing this closed then , leaving Egan one of the very last menbstanding. SO : if you have previous memories in negatives, especially the old ones , half the suze of those today, get them to Egan now! SMALL businesses need our help to stay alive. I just read Paul Clear thanking everyone for helping to keep his small business alive. I worked for small businesses all my life and support small businesses where I am able. Enjoy my pictures here and get over to @AnnandalePhotoA dCamera ASAP. Egan's a pleasure to deal with. Anthony Alan Quinn , Happy Wednesday, March 4th, 2026 10:15am

I was happy to get out and vote with my wife yesterday!

Rediscovering Bailey Banks & Biddle, Forrest Cromwell, Jack, Dr. Singh, Jim Feagins, Moe Parzoe, Beogram RX & More Through Kyle's Weekend Visit! Wow, Who Knew?!? Cheers Everyone!!

It's such a wonderful thing to be able to string memories together and to reconnect with certain things and to remember certain people in our lives all because of something that starts a domino effect/ chain reaction. In this case it was Kyle's recent visit here this past weekend to see us here at our home in northern Virginia. It's been fun, it's been nice to have these old doors open once again. So let me tell you something about all of this as it's curious and fun and so true to real life! My video and pictures I just made. The paragraph avove I wrote years ago and never finished or published this post until now, Tuesday, March 3, 2026 now at 12:27pm as I get ready to proof and post this from the time I was the wine manager at @ColonialLiquors Washington DC NW between 19th and 20th Streets I recall , northwest!? It was where I met Denise Ribant that is still a dear friend of ours, as well as John and Sue Girman. Mr Forrest Cromwell was intriduced to me by Jack the manager at Colonial Liquors at the time, Forrest was a kenn talented precise, meticulous clock repairman that worked part time repiring clocks for the Smithsonian, as well as he was the one steering the barges down the C& O Canal for years that came to Georgetown and returned. I bought this Bailey Banks and Diddle clock for Lynne as a birthday present! still works beautifully but needs an oil update and checkup! miss you Forrest! Jim Feagins I met and he sold us our house through the realty balloon company! Worked with Moe Parzoe that was lter hired by the Mayflower Wines and Spirits that then hired me after an interview at Mo's suggestion. Thanks Moe! It was a true pleasure to work with you Moe at both stores. We had some great times together at both. Before working at Colonial Liquors I got my start working for Alan Sahm the owner of Rex Wine and Spirits on Wisconsin Avenue, NW, right at the border of DC and Maryland, across the street now from the Mazza Gallery. That is whete I met @DanKravitz the wine manager.

The art of expressing oneself without the fear of retribution from those in power playing games with our lives is happening right now and our press today is helping these few destroy our lives. - here in these newspapers of the past there way way less of that and I am proud to share these front pages from The Washington Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, with Presidents like Obamaand Clinton that actually worked for us - Se the people - thank you both!

Once upon a time journalism was not ompletely bought, paid for, directed to serve the will and fancy and whims of the few and screw the test of us come hell or high water or total annihilation. Anthony Alan Quinn 3/2/2026 happy Tuesday arch 2, 2026 now 8:18pm as I add these pictures here to smhare with you all!
