    Morning. If the last few days have been like living inside a washing machine today must be the tumble-dry bit, still a bit of wind but some sun to warm us up. With luck we won't get hung out to dry after :)

    I was planning to do the first cut of the lawn today.  But it rained.  And the forecast tells us to expect rain every day this week!  I guess the grass with be a foot and a half tall by the time I can cut it.   frown

    You know what the American Indians say about lawns?  "Only a white man would grow a crop then discard it."

    I still have some of that stuff called film.  Some 120 roll film, too.  And 220 roll film.  One of my film backs to the Hasselblad has a light leak, though, and I don't know which one it is.  But the 120 back is fine.  Some of that film is B&W.  I don't know of many places that even process roll film anymore, or any film.  I think the nearest place to me is at least an hour's drive away.  indecision

    I have a chest freezer in my spare room that is almost full of unused film. Seriously, it comes to about 3" from the top. Still have my Mamiyas and my Canons, as well. My problem is that I can no longer carry the heavy stuff around.

    I was seriously pissed when Canon came out with the EOS lens mount which meant that none of my Canon FD mount lenses would be useful with digital. I had a 10D with an EOS mount grafted onto it, it wasn't easy, but now there are adapters for the Olympus Pen series, which are pretty nice. My FD lenses live again!

    I just wish that modern cameras looked as good, as elegant, as the classics. I'd love a digital Miranda Sensorex or Mamiya Auto XTL! But they're all black and lumpy. Bleaugh.

    Well, my Canon A1's were black (had two bodies, one with an inexpensive auto winder from Spiroflex - I think that was the name of them).  The Hasselblad was mostly black with a little bit of chrome trim.  I had the prism viewfinder for doing weddings.  I used the regular collapsible hood when doing portraits and scenic and fashion models.

    I used a 4x5 view camera once.  Rented it for a weekend and did some tabletop commercial type shots.  Came out beautiful!  Can't scan them to show anybody, because I printed them at 16x20!  Most of my later scenics I printed at that size, too.  Some earlier ones I did on 11x14.  I used print film for my scenics, not transparency film.  Used a rental lab to do my prints.

    My wedding setup cost me $2,500 at the time, mid 1980's.  The new digital Hasselblads would cost as much as my 2003 Camry XLE!!!  surprise   (a $30,000 car when I bought it).  So...that's not going to happen any time soon.

    When I shoot film, I grab one of my classics, just for the feel and nostalgia: http://cat-man-dancing.deviantart.com/art/My-classic-stuff-99498624 Wandering around an artsy city like Sabannah with a spring-motor Praktina can get interesting.

    But when I was a pro,... http://cat-man-dancing.deviantart.com/art/My-35mm-stuff-99497818

    And when I was a pro with a really strong assistant: http://cat-man-dancing.deviantart.com/art/Working-kit-99497404

    Can you tell that I love film photography? Except for the weight, of course. I walk with a cane. Hence the Olympus.

    I never had the money to collect so many cameras.  So I made sure the couple I could get were the best...damn expensive, though. 

    That one with the pink body/grip looks to have too small a format for decent enlargements.   laugh  laugh

    Well, it's nine millimeter, so maybe Minox film?

    Morning. Autumn draping its orange and gold and brown cloak over timeworn tin and tile defying, somehow, new steel and glass and concrete towers to unfold and bow a little against the season's furious wind  and less than warm wintery sun today :)

    ...had a couple years like that.  Made me very glad for the invention of the wet vac as my old apartment was prone to flooding.

    ...heavy politik day with a major surprise yesterday.  Another this morning, Sometimes I wonder why I am so concerned as it tends to weigh heavy sometimes.

    Haven't really done much 3D work lately. Inspiration just isn't there right now.

    Because humans in their "infinite wisdom" have defeated natural selection and have permitted (nay, encouraged) the unfit to survive.

    The movie "Idiocracy" illuminates this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiocracy
