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.

Paula found the baseplate of my M6, and I took her picture… she’s cool

Paramount Theatre — good venue

Weird light coming from the horizon

Using a telescope with the M6. This was cool

Bob seen through a brand new spanking 50mm Summilux Asph. Worth the US$3,600? Maybe.

Yours truly through the good ol’ trusty CV 35mm f1.4

Lasagna night chez Paula. Yum.

Late night, post dinner… everyone on their own world

I like the contrast in this frame

Dressing rooms – Anthropologie. I still can’t get over the “Girl Power” I felt there. Definitely a no-man’s land.

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.

I think this is where Nath lives. Reminds me of a cylinder.

Work laptop – Personal netbook. My adored kitchen floor

I went downtown with René and proceeded to document his day. It was fun.

“Downtown is too far to walk; I take the bus”

“Let’s have a bite”

Not sure what he was having for lunch

Looking for the perfect emo t-shirt… tight and dark

So the Twilight guy is in the cover.

Nothing really brilliant. Had lots of fun, though. Should do that with my friends more often.

The flowers by the window. LOVE this frame.

Portra NC400 pushed +1.

This is the m6. I wanted colour for St. Patrick’s day. Only had a 400 so I decided to push it 1 stop. The results are not thaaat bad, but I wouldn’t do it again unless forced to.
