Street bastard

I have been playing around with my camera gears and invented a bastard street photography gear out of a russian camera body, a german viewfinder and a japanese lens.  It should make the world smiling when a cruise the streets for interesting pictures, don't you think?

The hidden surprise is a film from Ilford. I ususally have Kodak.

LEGO for adults

My job is to design things. Right now it is a scientific experiment that shall be performed in microgravity, i. e. in space. Now we have the fun part of putting things together. There are always some no-fit surprises but usually they are resolved smoothly.

But the electronic guys always seem to mess things up. Gosh!



Supplier visit

Today we visited a supplier of our largest components. They manufacture our outer structures for the rocket payload. Here is one of them in the measurent machine. We had some issues to clear and came to an agreement.

A walk in the park

Today we went to the Royal Palace Drottningholm for a walk in the park. A popular occupation for many Stockholm citizens. I brought my Bronica for some picture and they didn't turn up too bad.

Street gear for a while

Don't get me wrong here. I'm a 35 mm addict. But somehow you gotta try something else once in a while. So instead of the 3,5 cm Summaron I equiped my Leica IIIf with a collapsible Summicron 1:2/5 cm. It should be possible for street photography anyway. It's still a small gear and easy to handle.

Loaded with Tmax 400. Here we go.

In the dishes of church

Last Sunday at church I was making service in the kitchen for the church coffee after the service. Well, that is , I was in the dishes. Not a great occupation but we made it as fun as can be.

Birthday

Quite naturally, my father is twenty years ahead of me. All the time! I never seem to catch up. The other weekend I went home to celebrate him. I gave him a bunch of Tri-X and Portra for his Rolleiflex. I think they will last until Fathers Day at least. Then he will get more. I have become his main film supplier since the only photo shop in town barely sell any film at all.
