One of the things I did this weekend was to go to a Photography swap meet by Lougheed Mall with dad. It was pretty neat, hundreds of people and probably 50 tables with photo stuff. Everything from ancient (and horribly expensive) Leica‘s to relatively new Pentax MZ-5 and MZ-6. Along with that were the microscopes, […]

Firefly is on a plane to come home, and I’m heading out in about 10 minutes to pick her up. Is everything done that should be done? Laundry laundered? Yup. Laundry slept on by cats? Yup.

Came home last night to a house smelling of freshly baked cookies. Yummy, yummy, yummy…. Firefly rocks. Course, this will mean doubletime at the gym, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay. Arnold won the election recall whatchamacallit in California. Yawn Anyone really think that he’ll be any different than the rest of the

Last night I attended my first meeting of the Abbotsford Photo Arts Club. Turns out it’s just up the road from me, so it was nice and close. The meeting started around 7pm, and there were maybe 30 people in attendance, though as I understand the club has more than 100 members. The first monday
