goodbye phoros from yashica 14e





I gave away the camera to a guy who studies photography. Those are the last roll pics.

The last two days are the best days I had since the beginning of this year.
Maybe more.

The Hunter

Shenkin Str. The guy resembles a hunter in hiding with the mannequins being the painted wooden ducks.






90/2.8 is more usefull for street photography then I thought

the seaside







The sea is gorgeous now.

Went for a walk about town(Tel Aviv and Jaffa) with Noogie from darkroom forum on
d-spot.Great fun.Shot a couple of rolls.

I now started using two RF's,both with 35/2.8 and loaded with the same film(plus-x is a recent favorite). They are faster to change then reload one camera,and then I reload both over coffee or something. I shot all day long with no meter. I dont use it much but now it is dead I feel it's absence.

I finished reading "Chronicles Volume One - Bob Dylan" and "Bound for Glory" by Woodie Guthrie several days ago.Both are very good.

Tel Aviv...color,leica





My first roll with the m3 and a loaned modern summicron I loaned from Alexz(thanks).

I had an eventfull and pleasurable night with a tinge of idiocy.
I went out for a beer with Lt. Angelina(an old army friend), we sat at the bar and the bartender loaded us with shnapss and beer so I slept at her place. When I woke up I went for the car and didnt find it, so I started calling the tow companies, which Tel Aviv is famous for. After 20 minutes I understood I parked in the next street, so ashamed and humbled I went to have breakfast(which was very pleasant - because of the company,not the food).

Luciano Pavarotti RIP

It is a damn shame. I listened to his arias from Turandot last night.

I shot several films lately,developed several,scanned some and worked on some more.
I have something like 100 pics to post - street and portrait.
I possibly found a summicron to replace my summaron.

My internet provider decided he hates me. Please be patient.

I love living in the center.Theres always something to do - as long as you have the energy. I met some people old and new and enjoyed it immensly.Especially a specific new person.

I hate my summaron!

I hate the goggles on my summaron - anyone wants to buy it\trade it for a summicron 50/2?
It is still under warranty from Sherry Krauter.

I love Tel Aviv. A bartender in a bar recognized me and poured me a free drink.
Have tons of new pictures but no internet access at home,so sorry.
