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.

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

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.

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.

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.
