Coming up over a mountain ridge...

...and finding myself in the Union Square courtyard. A peaceful scene in appearance, there were actually 30 college architecture students milling around. As soon as I would frame, stand up and grab the cable release (wait level finder) one of them would pop into the frame. Then there was the kid who kept photographing _me_ with his digi P&S, Uhhgg. He probably couldn't figure out what the humongous contraption on the tripod was used for...
Still second guessing myself on the Rollei SL66 used for this shot. Still lusting after the 43mm lens on the Mamiya 7.

Still working...

...on a couple new sets but here's a quick Holga shot. I almost always carry one of these with me and grab a few quick shots. Often they are better than the ones I agonized over with more conventional gear...

The metaphor...

...is probably obvious so I won't belabor the point. Working on a couple urban sets with the new Rollei SL66. I like the results so far but it's tough getting used to the weight and using a tripod. Jury is still out whether the benefits are worth the effort given the performance of the Mamiya 6. Damn thing is sweet though in the classic Benz sort of way.

Trip to the Desert for my Birthday...

...where it rained buckets and flooded the whole time. Between the rain, kids, wife, mother and golf there wasn't much time for my Mamiya but I managed to push the shutter button a few times when I was supposed to be in the bathroom.
