Just another twit....

If you check out the sidebar, you'll see that I've signed up with twitter. I don't know how much I'll use it, but I'm there anyway. Too bad my cell phone doesn't send messages.

"You can reshoot them, right?"

Just as I'm defending them on a vandigicam post, the photo lab calls me up to tell me that an accident has destroyed one of my rolls, including all my 366 shots from the 17th until two days ago. Oh well. I was thinking about quitting anyway. I was getting tired of looking at my face.

Camera Show Stuff......

It's been ages since writing anything here. Not much I've felt like talking about lately I suppose.

I was at the camera show today. I found a Harmony 120 camera with no lens, (perfect for pinhole,) and a Smirnoff M68F camera for $1 each. Also a bag of random 120 and 35mm film for $30. Then I broke down and bought a Pentax K-1000 with a 28mm 2.8 lens. I also got a 50mm 2.0 lens for it. Heather was sweet and bought me some film and a strap for it. I've been hemming and hawing over getting a good film SLR for the last three or four camera shows. K1000's are supposed to be good, simple users. I'm hoping I'll get a lot of service out of this. Too bad I haven't been able to think of anything to photograph lately.

WTF???

So I have this friend I e-mail with. For some strange reason, the e-mail from my yahoo account bounces when sent to her, despite the fact she uses a yahoo account as well. So I e-mail her using my gmail account; an account I only use for spammy things otherwise. Here are the targeted ads for our most recent e-mail conversation about programs we use to chat online.

Yah, I have no idea what Google is thinking.

Just what the world needs, another "blog".

I've added a photo weblog to my new website. The site is here, and the RSS feed is here. It's just going to be photos and stuff about photography. If I have anything important to say, it will be posted here.

Not much there yet, but the new version of my website is online.

A blast from the past.......

As mentioned earlier, I got a new website domain for my birthday. I'm in the process of designing something to put up there. Just for fun, and until the new site finished, I put up the website I had in 2004. It won't be there for long, but you'll be hard pressed to go through it all before the new site is done. I did a quick and dirty job changing some domain link. So if something doesn't work, that's why. Enjoy! I only ask that you don't link to it until the new page is finished and online.

Ah well......

I had to exchange the new monitor. It had far too many dead pixels, including a little clump in one spot that would drive me nuts while I touched up dust specks on my photos. The exchange was quite painless and I've only found one dead pixel in the new monitor; in the top right corner where it won't be a bother.

In other news, it was a nice quiet weekend. Pretty much what I wanted. I dreamt that I owned a penthouse in the Living Shangri-La building that's going up downtown. But one of the windows broke and my parent's dog fell out. I wasn't very impressed with that.

Happy......

It was my birthday yesterday and I had a very good day. I got some birthday money from the parents. There was a nice angel food cake with them, my brother and Heather. For dinner, Heather and I ate way too much at The Keg. Very sweet as always, she bought me the book Paris Changing featuring before and after photos by Eugène Atget and Christopher Rauschenberg. It's reminded me of how much I love that city. I also have a new domain for a portfolio website. I'll have to get to work on that soon. With the birthday money, plus the GST rebate and just about every other cent I happened to have, I purchased a 21.6" widescreen LCD monitor. It's quite a change from the old 17" CRT. I'll have to start scanning my 366 photos soon.
