Well, I got back the estimate for repairing my Nikon FT2 and it's way, way more than the camera is "worth." $250~ I could get a newer body from KEH for that and still have left over.

I'm not sure what to do. I *will* get it repaired but not right now. Romantic nostalgia is something I just can't afford at the moment.

The new layout is hideous.
Please tell me there's a way to change it.

Damn. Sorry guys, I didn't even notice ticking over 1000 pageviews.
I probably should've done something for the event.

Anyway, I've got some chromes developed and I did have them shittily scanned by a Frontier but they came out beyond unusable. I bitched at Coleen at Southbridge Photo (they're nice there) and she said she'd have a look at them.

I know something is up because I've got better scans from the drug store and they have a shittier machine. Some old Noritsu.

I'm probably going to gain full time access to the Minolta slide scanner I used to use. It's very old and probably in need of a douche but it's more than adequate. No ICE though.
On the old school tip.

More industrial masturbation.

My brother is officially moved out and Dave's got me in his reticle. Dave's been tearing up the woods in the back for reasons uknown.

Film at 11.

The only thing I hate is people who put utter crap that seriously looks like there was a total lack of effort involved, into the public and present it as omg jawsome
holy crap. I acctually typed "jawsome".

Got a miniflood of macro work coming.

I am going to get a mint N90s from a gentleman in florida, hopefully this week.
It comes equipped with the MB-10 grip and the data cable. He's throwing in a Palm IIIxe and the N90 Buddy software, yay, no more keeping a shooting log, the camera remembers up to four rolls of 36 exposures. It can be set to expose the first frame of the roll with a log # so you can keep track.
He's got the boxes and manuals for everything, too. I guess he bought the camera and then bought a D100 soon afterward so it went unused. When he shoots film, he uses his F2 most of the time, that's why he's getting rid of the N90.
Pretty sweet deal.
Now if only I could find someone with a bunch of frozen Vericolour III...

I've got another camera body, this time from my brother's girlfriend. That's the second camera in as many weeks.

It "feels" correct, unlike the Pentax, which needs a CLA pretty badly. I was confident enough to use it at xmas this year. I showed up with a no-name flash that came with it and ended up stealing Gamma's hyoooge sunpak flash, she had used it on her camera. Which, coincidently, is the same as the one I got. A canon AE-1 Program. It's a rather dreadful body, metering wise. You can't tell the shutter speed or aperture from the viewfinder and the meter only tells you what it feels the aperture should be. It has the same squeeky shutter that every canon A* I have ever seen has, at least they're consistant.

Haven't decided what I'll do with it. It's a battery operated shutter so it's not good for long bulb exposures. I don't have any good glass for it. Maybe I'll sell it and parlay the money towards a D100(lawl) or some macro extension tubes.

So the first attempt at shooting the moon in years went so-so.

I'll probably be getting my great-uncle's old asashi pentax m42 body.
He had all SMC Takumar lenses which were supposedly pretty nice. We'll see how it goes.

I guess I'll just upload Allfather over the next few days. I had hoped to write little poems to go with every shot but I just don't have the muse for it at the moment. I'll just go back and add to them if anything comes to me.

My friend =flumpie is forever reminding me that the best camera is the one in your hand and he's right.
I should stfu and shoot.

-EDIT- I'm waiting to get my flash card back from Kathy, I had to give her some pictures I did on the card to get them printed. Apparently I'm making $100 for doing some work for a lady. Which is good since I have about 50cents to my name.
Well, -$5000 to my name, really.

I'm planning on going shooting and doing long exposure shots. Maybe tonight. See how this thing holds up, noise-wise. I say "long" exposure but it cuts out at 2 seconds.

Maybe I'll say fuck it, buy some fuji neopan and whip out the old nikon and go nuts.

Note to self: go through attic for old negs for kathy.

More shots today, no big photoshopping or colourwork though.

Pretending to be old sk00l.

Again the S5000 makes me wish I had something a little more adept. She's a good girl but the uncontrollable JPEG compression is tiring. Mark said he would buy me a 1GB card for xmas, so I'll just be able to shoot RAW all the time but I probably won't have it in time for xmas. So my holiday shots will be meh, unless I drag lappy everywhere and dump photos every 20 mins.

Possible.
Lame but possible.

There are some new scraps, one of my keetoms and some horrible pics of my dirty-ass room. To try to motivate me to clean it.
I want to set up the sequencer and my synths in that corner where the other desk is.

So, if you want to hear new shitty techno from me, tell me to clean my room.

EDIT: kk, room pics are up in scraps. If you see anything you want to BUY let me know. I've also got a Dual PPro, quad capable, DEC Server 7000 with one populated SBB slot, redundant power supplies, etc.

New deviation is one of my aunt's kittens, awwwwww.

MORE KITTIES

Anyway. I got pretty fucked this weekend, computer melted, lifetimes of data destroyed, blah.

We've resurrected and are at about 20%. Industrial Allfather was not destroyed, I had him on backups. We will press on.

It's called Industrial Allfather.
I might change the name, I might not. It's about a tractor/backhoe god that's old and beaten-down. He's just waiting for rest at this point. His paint is faded, His hydrolics leak, yet He can still exact change within His domain.

Anyway, enjoy. ]]> ~soupforare
