Every time after Winter comes Spring

Winter was cold. There were a couple of days of snow. The car slipped in the snow. Finding a spot to park is complicated in Capitol Hill. N got here before we had planned it, and it was awesome. I have the most awesome manager ever. I don't really like my car, so I'll swap it soon enough. Vancouver is pretty when the sun comes out. My mentor is the person that knows how this place works... from A to B. Haven't spoken that much to parents; no news is good news. Good news is even better. I wish I could afford all the toys I want. The lifeboat laptop just got an awesome battery. This blog post.

(This is a tribute)

This is a film entry.

It had been a while since I used my F100. Amazing body... super tight, and a shutter solid as a rock. No big deal here. The F100 and the M6.

Delta 400 - m6

Can't remember where this was


After Steilacoom, I put the M Motor on, and misplaced the base plate. Contacted the US offices, and the replacement part was like US$350.

I was bitching about losing it when Paula said she had found something similar in his apartment. I tied loose ends, and remembered that I put the baseplate on the pocket of my jacket, which I took off that day during a dinner Paula hosted.

Ektar 100 - This was shot on the F100. For 17mm you need the full frame to use it properly. No d700 for me for now. Maybe some time in the future.
