I'm on the road, away from my (equipped) home and for some reason, I don't use digital for PAW:s. Just works out that way. Sometimes people ask: "What camera and lens do you pick up if you are just going to go out?" I was kicking around in Oslo this morning, fairly early, ... got tired of looking at hotel walls. So I picked up my bag and wandered around minding my business and sticking my nose into anyone else's if the opportunity arose. Took some worthless shots of cigarette butts in the snow, dirty snow, sidewalks that peeved me off because they were still treacherously covered with snow and ice (after 3 months). Saw an acquaintance come hustling down the hill. He was in a hurry, you could tell. We waved at each other, smiled and spoke a couple of words in passing (literally). Then he called me back: "Are you looking for something to shoot? Come with me!" He was late for a wedding. Two lesbian friends were getting married (entering a partnership to be technical) down at the courthouse. They couldn't afford a photographer and didn't have one. So there I was, 5 minutes to prepare for a wedding. What did I happen to have in my bag when I just went out to kill some time? Two M bodies (2 and 4), 35, 50, 90. ISO 400 film and Neopan 1600 One Rolleicord V, ISO 400 film. The day started lousy, but that made up for it. So I imagine you can guess what the PAW will be for this week once I get home (in about a week) and get it prepared.
