Another one bites the Dust!
I just read the sad news on Casual Photophile.

My Life without Facebook?
Mark Zuckerberg has got a problem.
Well, he’s got more problems those last weeks, but there’s one more that I add to his woes.
Night Shift in Colour
Well, not exactly a night shift… more one of my usual early-morning-before-work strolls.
I find these moment vey relaxing. For one thing, my mind is still fresh, uncluttered form a day’s work and troubles. I have finished emerging from early morning drowsiness during the bus ride and am receptive for the frames that appear before my eyes.
One Week with the iPhone
Thanks to fellow blogger Dan James of 35hunter fame, I committed to spending a whole week with my iPhone as my only camera.
This resulted from a nice discussion we had about this post of mine.
So it’s one week without taking up any real camera, just with that slippery slab of aluminium and glass in hand. He thinks I will come to like using it. I swear that guy will make me switch to digital 😉
A bunch of Fifties! Pixel peeping!
Having multiple cameras and camera systems brings you without fail to owning multiple lenses of the same focal length – unless you concentrate on compact cameras with fixed lenses of course.
I reduced my camera stable to Pentax M42 and Leica M39 thread mount stuff. But of course for each systems I have a selection of the compulsory 50mm lenses. Not a comprehensive collection but only four in fact I got hold of over the past months and years.
Bad News for Film….
…thanks to Fujifilm!
Agfa Vista, OK it was not the best loved and best looking film around, but it was among the cheapest to be had. And frankly, the quality was not too shabby!
A new take on an old Theme!
I admit… this is digital!
Yes, there it is, that ugly word! But these are photos anyways.
And I wanted to grab the opportunity to compare them to the same subjects, treated with film.
Black and White from the Street
Nothing fancy today, just three snaps I made the other day in Luxembourg City, on a very nice, cold and sunny winter’s day.
First one is kind of a Luxembourgish insider thing. Get it?
The Best Camera is NOT the one You have with You!
I think it was good old Ansel Adams
who said that ‘the best camera is the one you have with you’
Heaven forbid that I could doubt the wisdom of such a master photographer, but in this point, to my very humble opinion, I think he was wrong.
In many years of G.A.S. driven camera changes I have noticed one thing. It might only be true for myself but I think it’s pretty relevant.
If the best camera was the one that’s always with me I’d need no specific camera!

When using old Cameras…
…you can get bitterly disappointed!
I made the experience just now. One of my three remaining ‘trusty’ cameras has just given up on me.
Bummer it’s the beautiful Spotmatic…
