With my cappuccino in-hand and unable to drink it inside the shop, I am ready to face the world as I take my caffeine jolt to-go.
When I started project 365, I had a couple of different "coffee shots", because I love the nutty, roasted bean. However, in May of this year, due to some pretty nasty Basilar Migraines, I gave up caffeine -- or at least projects that really crank up the caffeine. For about 5 months I drank only water and then I began adding a bit of decaffeinated coffee back into my repertoire. Decaf coffee is an oxymoron, and it's hard to find a good decaf when out and about, but I love the smell, taste and ritual that is coffee. So I guess from now on both the coffee and I will be missing caffeine.

I'm not doing New Years resolutions. I've spent a month eating and my stomach firmly believes no matter how big a meal, it's not done till I've had a bitter mint. January will require #caffeine, and a lot of it. #journal #art #sketch #sketchbook #ink #tea
Confession: I'm a total slut for caffeinated beverages.
My wallet is thick with coffee cards from all over town.
Why does a coffee house belong in my inspiration series? I do all my best thinking in coffee houses. I sit for hours and I get shit done. It's in coffee houses that I've written three novels. Edited hundreds of photos (including the pornish ones!). Organized my portfolio. Read books. Written songs. Discovered artists. Made new friends. Little hole-in-the-wall coffee houses really do keep me going.
Any time a friend wants to hang out, I invite them for "coffee" - which in Brigid land is actually a secret code that means either Almond Soy Chai, or Black Tea with Sugar and Soy.
I don't like going to bars, and have long resented the fact that if I want to hang out with friends at night in neutral territory, we tend to be relegated to a dim and noisy bar. It has long been my dream to open an all night coffee house....someplace loungie and relaxing and low key. I grew up frequenting Denver hotspots like Stella's and Paris on the Platte. They are both marvelous....and permanently coloured my expectations for late night hangouterie.
Anna and I have been talking a lot about opening our own place in San Francisco. On any given day we are at one of about 10 coffee houses around P-Town, drinking our way into caffeine-induced oblivion. Today, we chose Backspace, a downtown coffee house / gamer+hacker hangout / art gallery / vegetarian cafe with built-in tree houses and lookouts for DJs and lighting techs. It's not exactly what we have in mind for our place, but they certainly have their act together - it's a vibrant, welcoming creative environment that truly draws people from all walks of life. So Inspiration? Yes, it is.
Large On Black if you wanna see my freckles!
Cold fingers, runny nose, a very cold wind chill and too much coffee =double exposures! And a new scratch that needs to be investigated further. Mind you, Holga loves to shake things up....
Camera: Leica CL
Lens: 40mm/f2 Leitz Summacron-C
Film: Ultrafine Extreme 100
Developer: Xtol
Scanner: Epson V600
Photoshop: Curves, Healing Brush (spotting)
Cropping: None
These are test shots of a New-To-Me (built in 1972) Leica CL with a Summacron-C 40mm f2.
I love the 40mm focal length, especially on rangefinders and am completely puzzled as to a) why Leitz didn't offer framelines for this lens on the rest of their line other than the prevalent 35mm range of lenses they also sold being close in focal length and b) if they thought the 40mm was too close to the 35mm focal length, why did they go with the 40mm on this line of cameras.
They were developed with Minolta while Minolta helped Leitz develop the R-Series SLRs. Perhaps Minolta wanted the 40mm focal length to help with the transition from the cheaper fixed-lens rangefinders like the Hi-Matic line. If that is the case, why didn't they go with a 42mm or 45mm?
Either way, I'll take it.
It has a short base for a rangefinder but it fits in the front pocket of my pants. Try that with a M6 sporting a Summacron 50mm.
