Luxor -Ramses III:s Tempel-Medinet Habu
The temple, some 150 m long, is of orthodox design, and resembles closely the nearby mortuary temple of Ramesses II (the Ramesseum). The temple precinct measures approximately 700 ft (210 m). by 1,000 ft (300 m) and contains more than 75,350 sq ft (7,000 m2) of decorated wall reliefs.[1] Its walls are relatively well preserved and it is surrounded by a massive mudbrick enclosure, which may have been fortified. The original entrance is through a fortified gate-house, known as a migdol (a common architectural feature of Asiatic fortresses of the time).
Just inside the enclosure, to the south, are chapels of Amenirdis I, Shepenupet II and Nitiqret, all of whom had the title of Divine Adoratrice of Amun.
The first pylon leads into an open courtyard, lined with colossal statues of Ramesses III as Osiris on one side, and uncarved columns on the other. The second pylon leads into a peristyle hall, again featuring columns in the shape of Ramesses. This leads up a ramp that leads (through a columned portico) to the third pylon and then into the large hypostyle hall (which has lost its roof). Reliefs and actual heads of foreign captives were also found placed within the temple perhaps in an attempt to symbolise the king's control over Syria and Nubia.
In Coptic times, there was a church inside the temple structure, which has since been removed. Some of the carvings in the main wall of the temple have been altered by coptic carvings.
Even I bought this new cellular phone five months ago, I never catch photos with it, I used Nikon D850,D810, Z6,,,
Trying my hand at film. Purchased this beautiful camera from a very good friend. This M2 was built in 1958, making it 67 years old and it works amazingly well. All mechanical with no light meter making me learn how to read light.
I like how film slows you down, making you more deliberate and intentional, no spray and pray. I also love the tactile feeling of loading, advancing and rewinding the film, pure joy!
Some of what I love is also what I don’t like. It is indeed very slow with long elapsed time to view your results. It also has limitations as you are stuck with the film stock you loaded. I tried film two years ago and gave up after a few month as I was missing the Immediacy of digital. This time I’m giving myself a year to fully immerse myself in the analog world to see if it’s for me before making a final decision.

-- The three M's: Mary, Molly, and her meter (when she remembers to bring it along).
My mother (on the right wearing the tacky flowery dress) and other stoned party goers captured by my father with his Leica M2 camera and 35mm Summicron lens with Kodachrome slide film in 1961. My mother was worn out by then from carrying and giving birth to five children and was also suffering from post-partum depression, so the booze intake was approprate medicine, I think, because she also suffered all her life from a personality disorder involving shyness and intermittent partial obliteration of her ability to interact with reality. She got this disorder from her Swedish mother or her Norwegian father. This is middle class America before marijuana, LSD, and mescaline invaded the Bay Area around San Francisco.
