I am. I have my eye on this bad ass Its going to take about 2 grand to bring her home, but the damn thing will probably last me the rest of my life. |
Is it extra rugged? Stain resistant? |
thanks for playing in my lonley thread sem. |
and a big papercutter. and a toyota corona. and a bed and dressers. and a handspring visor, or palm pilot. and two of the beautiful handwoven rugs that this woman had displayed draped over her fence when we were on our way to mount rainier on sunday. they were really amazing, and only a couple of hundred dollars each for a six by eightish foot rug. she's got to be losing money at those prices. anyone want to buy a mavica? |

2 women are sitting on a park bench, talking. Woman #1: My husband just bought me a dozen long stemmed roses for our anniversary. Woman #2: That's great! Woman #1: Not really, now I'll have to spend the whole weekend with my legs in the air. Woman #2: Why? Don't you have a vase? |

Its one model below my first choice. It doesnt have the 3000 programmed shot database (DARN!) and a few other bells that i cant ever picture myself using. Its about $300 less, which I will use to get the glass I want....its all about the glass in the end. |

waiting on my YMCA membership.... |

i want a full fee waiver for La Que Sabe Eating Disorders Clinic. otherwise i want my health insurance to cover it. i want a 21" monitor at home. a shelving unit for books. new motor mount for the rocketship. |
|
|
but I bet you guys have desks. |
Nah don't really. Want to be off this trip, that makes the letters all blury. that would be a good start. |
I need two cameras, no doubt. 35mm and then a medium format. The Rollei i have been using is borrowed, so I need to return it. I'll hold out with my Olympus 35mm for a while longer. Anyway, I going to get this tomorrow. go ahead, click on the enlargement, look at it from all sides. Its a bad ass and im excited as can be. |

I actually recently obtained a nikkormat and it's been a lot of fun, but the only dark room I can access up here is pretty...er...not good, to find a pc term. But that does look like a fun camera. |
i want to tape three of the lenses on my lomo camera and do each frame seperately... might make for some interesting comix... photographed, hand colored and bubbled.... i got some good brunch pictures but i lent them to a local documentarian and haven't gotten them back yet. |
I need to go outside now. It got up to 60 degrees today. Time to dig out the sandals and short sleeves. |
Beer.... Guns..... Shooting other human beings..... I'm in such pain, its like I just had 5 hours of intense beer ridden sex. Life is not so bad. |
But do you really know how to trick out the all-manual? Im sure you could find a post somewhere in which i said something similar but you know, I've reached a point where this point of view is a bit silly. I've reached the threshold of my current cameras, all 30+ years old, all manual etc etc. Im pushing the limits of the glass. I can only enlarge images so much. Ultimately this is what its all about. The glass. Platy, you rock on with the Nikkormat, those cameras have great glass in them, essentially thats all you need. In short, the cameras I have were not made for professional use, and i'm definitly using them on a professional level. Friday I reconsidered and actually spent about another grand to get this baby simply because of the autofocus. It also has the capability to take a digital back. I doubt I'll be jumping in that realm anytime soon, but if i wanted to, I could. Why? So why all the extra cash for autofocus...I'll tell you. I shoot mostly fashion. Shooting fahion, autofocus is essential, if I wish to consider making a living. As time goes on, autofocus will be more and more essential and to spend such money on a camera now, without autofocus, well Id be shooting myself in the foot. I've been burning up the film all weekend. I've practically been sleeping with this thing next to me. |
Nice camera. |

Security: sir sir....do you have press credentials patrick: boy do I! No. kidding. actually i don't. why would you ask? security: with a camera that big, you have to register for press. patrick: register? im just shopping. security: so you're just shopping? patrick: well yeah. and what is it with the size of my camera? look that guys video camera is bigger than this. (some dude had an archaic old VHS camcorder, the kind you put on your shoulder) Besides im just a student snapping some shots for class. Im with no press. security: i understand, but the mall doesnt know what you're doing with the images. patrick: i didnt realize i had to inform the mall what you're doing when coming here with a camera. Besides, they don't own their image, despite what they think. (at this point shes getting frustrated, I know what she is getting at, but I wish she had just left me alone) security: its just for that size camera... patrick: ..ok ok where is the security/customer service place, so i can go get clearance for my big camera? she points. I walk off and dart in the opposite direction. fucking nimwits...telling me i have to have press credentials to shoot there. now they're just asking for me to come back and shoot every day. |
The grocery store got kind of antsy when I was shooting in there with a 4x5 a couple of weeks ago. |

and a Black Crow snuck through a hole in the sky so I spent all my buttons on an old pack mule and I made me a ladder from a pawn shop marimba and I leaned it up against a dandelion tree And I filled me a satchel full of old pig corn and I beat me a billy from an old French horn and I kicked that mule to the top of the tree and I blew me a hole 'bout the size of a kickdrum and I cut me a switch from a long branch elbow Chorus I'm gonna whittle you into kindlin' Black Crow 16 shells from a thirty-ought-six whittle you into kindlin' Black Crow 16 shells from a thirty-ought-six Well I slept in the holler of a dry creek bed and I tore out the buckets from a red Corvette, tore out the buckets from a red Corvette Lionel and Dave and the Butcher made three you got to meet me by the knuckles of the skinnybone tree with the strings of a Washburn stretched like a clothes line you know me and that mule scrambled right through the hole Repeat Chorus Now I hold him prisoner in a Washburn jail that strapped on the back of my old kick mule strapped it on the back of my old kick mule I bang on the strings just to drive him crazy I strum it loud just to rattle his cage strum it loud just to rattle his cage Repeat Chorus |
He has two albums coming out next month |
I'm psyched for the two albums! I understand they're new material, not live. |
i hear it in my head, and i, like you, can't get past that one line. |
