I didn’t see a road or a path up to this building. Next time I might just hoof it up the hill and see what’s there.
Speaking of cemeteries… I kinda want to go see my mother’s today. I don’t know why for sure, I just kinda want to go.

Jammed
My camera somehow came off the take up spool on the last photo. Not sure how that happened. It felt like it jammed, but I am not sure that is the right word to use. The result was my first ever double exposure… even if it’s not a complete double exposure. It’s still kinda cool to think about.
Spicket Falls Dam Again
Downtown
Lahey
This is one of those “always have the camera with you because you never know what you’ll see moments.” My father was in the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, MA. I went to visit him and saw this on the top level of the parking garage. Is it interesting? Who knows. It clearly was to me at the moment I was parking the car, right?
Walnut Grove Cemetery
I took Dad’s camera to this location twice. The first time the film broke. The second time it jammed with about five shots left so I just rolled it up and didn’t tempt fate. Next time I’ll bring my Nikon instead but I’ll probably go black and white again because it’s spooky looking and I like spooky looking things.
Manual Focus Cat
Manual focusing in a dark room is just as difficult as you would expect.
Small Changes
…and the after pic.
Two new shelves and the spice rack thingie has been raised up a bit to better line things up. I only severely damaged the wall in a couple of places but the shelf brackets cover the craters. Nice, huh?
Small Changes Coming
Hey look, the gold draw pulls on the Ikea cabinet in the kitchen are now black draw pulls.
There is one more change coming today that is a little more substantial, assuming my non-carpentry ass can pull it off. Here’s a before picture.
The after pic will be… ya know… after.
Changing the subject back to the Great Bond Movie Rewatch of 2022. I had some wrong information about Amazon Prime Video. I thought all of the Bond movies were available but going away on 11/5, which is today. I was wrong. There was one movie that apparently was not available for streaming. It was only available for rental or purchase. Fortunately it was Spectre, which is one of only two Bond movies that we have in our iTunes account. I’m actually watching it as I type this.
There was another incorrect piece of info. Apparently a few Bond movies did not go away when the calendar flipped to 11/5. I still see a few Daniel Craig movies available for streaming, including Die Another Day which is the only other movie I have left to watch. How cool is that? Unless things change today or tomorrow, I will be able to complete the Great Bond Movie Rewatch of 2022 without having to buy or rent any additional flicks. Sweet!
Changing the subject back to using Dad’s camera lenses with my DSLR. The two pictures above were taken with Dad’s 50mm prime lens. I have to get a handle on the whole depth of field thing when using a super fast lens. I thought the draw pulls were in focus though the one on the top is clearly out. There’s also the little thing with the pic being under exposed a bit thanks to me probably reading the light meter on my iPhone wrong.
The other picture was actually taken from the dining room. The focal length on this lens is 50mm, which was probably too narrow for what I wanted, but my Nikon D90 is a DX sensor, which means it’s not full frame, which means a full frame 50mm lens works like a 75mm lens (I think that’s the right number… the conversion is 1.5 times the lens’ focal length, right? 1.5 x 50 = 75) which is WAAAAY to narrow for my kitchen. Oh well. It’s still wicked fun.
Right then. Time to finish breakfast and then get to work in the kitchen. I don’t think today’s task will take long.
