The first official cookout of summer is on the first official day of summer.

Rush fans get the significance.

Photo a day number 289 of 365.
This also marks 2112 days in a row with a post in this blog.
I think I want today to be the last day for both projects.
Lily seems pleased that we are home.

That camera I bought on ebay a couple of weeks ago? The Nikon F-401? The camera with the autofocus that was going to make my film shooting life so much easier?
The aperture dial doesn’t work. It just spins, it doesn’t click. It doesn’t actually affect the lens’ aperture at all. Not even a teeny tiny bit. If you try to use the aperture ring instead of the dial as a work around? The camera doesn’t fire.
Failure. Total. The lens is nice though so I probably won’t send it back. Anyone know any place that fixes cameras?

A ukulele.
The horror… the horror…. The horror…


A brief pause in the vacation posts to show solidarity to our brothers and sisters in Los Angeles who are standing up to tacos’ american gestapo.
Stay strong, friends.
