A farewell to Film
Yes, the final Hurrah for film photography from me. And I wanted to let film go out with a bang. I took my final film camera, a trusty Canon AE-1 to Mauritius, with a dozen rolls of film, to see what could be done. And there was a lot to do. A lot to photograph... Continue Reading →
I will not apologize!
No, I will not apologize, I will not go into details why and when and where, I will not try to explain. Just accept it, I was AWOL and I’m showing signs of life again. I just wanted to show some photos I took on a recent trip to Porto in Portugal. And I want... Continue Reading →
Adieu eBay…

Battery Room…
That's what the sign says! But what the hell is a Battery Room? As it's in the local train station I imagine a giant array of batteries to power the trains.... no, that's stupid! Do they store some kind of batteries in there ? Mysteries abound ! Do you know of other such mysterious signs... Continue Reading →
Time keeps on slipping…
...into the future! Weary, tired, no good... And time is hard to keep track of if you have lots of things to think about, to worry about! We've been moving to our new (partly finished) house a bit over a week ago. Hard to find your bearings in a work in progress (slooooooowwww progress!) and... Continue Reading →
