[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]i was riding my morgan +8 goosedown frame bike to the montblanc store at the mall yesterday to get a highlighter (the camera shop in the mall sells the leica digilux, which makes this post on topic) and doing a couple calculations on my 7.5 inch Huges-Owens 341/3050 Versalog Sliderule along the way to figure out which lenscap i'd need if i owned any lenses, pausing momentarily to mentally curse out those @#$-@%^ards who shoot digital and call themselves photographers. a quick glance at my omega seamaster sport chrono confirmed that it was about 4:30, plus or minus a couple of seconds one way or the other. i was overcome with the urge to let everybody on the list know that i was thinking that, so i rode home doublequick to post this. oh yeah, and i wanted to say that i'm pretty sure susan sontag doesn't know what she's talking about but i'm not sure what she said. or who she is really, but i think she's the editor of ms. magazine who went to hanoi in 1971. feel free to just add "me too" to the bottom of this and copy it back to the list. kc can you hear this? i'm sighing very heavily here in philadelphia. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.s. here's a brand new shot with a borrowed plug voightlander 35 1.7, http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/pix/pad/44/carfaxgary.jpg a little heavy, but very useful focal length and speed.
