Had to clean up my yard this morning after last night's storm. The oak trees in my yard shed limbs like my Chihuahua shed hair. What a mess! I thought there had been a hurricane like Charlie again, and I slept right through the whole thing...

Well glad you're ok...

Meh. No big deal. Seems since I don't imbibe anymore I tend to sleep very soundly.

Oak trees in the neighborhood did shed lots of branches last night though.

Well, I took a step back in time today and I didn't need a T.A.R.D.I.S. to do it. All I needed was eBay actually. I bought a Pentax ME Super with a motor winder! What was I thinking? Actually, I have been thinking about this for a long time. I shot with an ME super for almost thirty years before going digital. I mostly shot B&W with it. Did a lot of air-to-air photography with it over the years. Some pictures I shot with it are on my Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/fotofrank01/ See the T-6 and the Tigermoth and my Gold Wing.

Since going digital I've really missed not having a film camera. For years I used to "see" in black and white. Now, because of digital, I don't. I'm really looking forward to using the camera when it gets here. Of course, I'll need to re-learn all of the photography stuff I have forgotten since 2007, when I bought my first DSLR.

Tough part is finding the film and getting it processed..  But enjoy the flashback..

That could still be an issue..  Seems when the film processors tank they never replace them.. Might check with Herbie and see if Harmon is still processing..

Harmon may not be processing but Colonial is processing C-41 still...

My brother Mark passed away last night. His seven year battle with cancer has ended. He was a great man. A husband, a father and a grandfather. A business owner, a hunter, a cowboy. The Lewis family and Mark's friends will miss him, but he is in a better place now that his suffering is over.





These two pictures are by my brother Bryan. He is the chronicler of events for the Lewis family. Quite a good photographer.

For those of you who would like to celebrate my brother's life with me, please enjoy a gin martini made with Beefeaters over ice. That was Mark's preferred libation. I will be having a few in Mark's memory when I get up to Montana.

So sorry to hear about your loss FL, sounds like brother Mark was a hell of a guy to know  .  .  .  much as I hate drinkin' gin, I'll choke one (or two) down in his honour  .  .  .  safe travels to Montana  .  .  .
