that's a peacock about to land on the roof

ride out

biked out almost to the lake, smashed my mamiya while never taking it out of the smashing bag, took a few pics. I'm always complaining about not having something to toil in so I'm trying to do a raleigh grid project, whereby I photography Raleigh 1 random square mile at a time. First square mile has been a hoot. If I do one square a month on the map I'm using it'll take 33.3333 years. Ready to toil baby.

edit correction it's 33.25 years. However a third of a century is more toil worthy.

became a uge fan of Peru when we were there, forever. Such a killer flag and people. The Spanish language is the best. Latin America forever

peru was wild very foggy lots of dust a few street dogs empanadas and not enough ceviche broken spanish good coffee lots of smiling and nodding the world cup and the biggest fing rat I ever saw crawling in the gutter

Lima was cool

from my invoice to get my mamiya fixed, a description of the charges: "Complete overhaul / Camera inoperative / Repair film advance / Replace rangefinder window / Disassembled camera completely to remove glass shards / Replace small parts as required / Calibrate light meter and rangefinder / Clean and lube lens helicoid - focusing is VERY stiff"

LOL. Wish Jake was here to commiserate with about that one. Also wish I could have talked FIRST REFORMED with that old fart.

So in this terrible world we share at least there are old timers out there fixing up mamiyas and I have a like new yet "Very well used" (cosmetic condition from the same invoice) rig back in the quiver just in time for a jaunt to another hemisphere. And to whichever dirty motherfucker that wound up with Jakes always busted gear - call Bob at Precision Camera Works in Skokie IL. Also in the good column the other day this dude driving a VW van gave me the peace sign when I was standing at a crosswalk. He was catchin my vibes

the kids always ask why I don't like to go to church and I always tell them that's not where I can find god
