Who may even have the film processed sometime during 2008.

the following is a true story:

interviewer: "mr. cassidy, is it true that leicas are the best cameras and
that all the best photographers use them?"

me: "it's so true that i put leica stickers on all my cameras that aren't
leicas."




today jim shulman showed up with an m3 with a voightlander 35 1.4 on it. i
actually took a photo with it. it took me a minute and a half to figure out
how to operate the light meter, focus, and remember which framing lines were
35 on an m3.

but the important thing is, i took a photo! and how it made me miss my m3.
we live in a sad world where cameras have become ... inelegant.
