Nikkor VR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6
Today I went to my favorite drug dealer to check out the cool new 18-200mm VR Nikon lens. Just wanted to play with it, knowing that they didn't have it in stock and that waiting times pretty much everywhere in the world were about two months!
Well, I fooled around with it for a while and instantly fell in love with it. So I decided.... what the heck.... I really want this one!
Just when the lady was putting my information into the computer to place my order she looked at me and said.... Hey, do you want to have it right now?! We just got an unplanned shipment of two lenses about two hours ago! You can take it with you, if you want....
YAY!!!
a possibility for the macromonday theme for this week, which is inside electronics. this circuit board was from a device that strengthened sound, which didn't work all that well so taking it apart to photograph its innards was not a bad idea.

With a custom paint job! This CFL Holga started out as a Criagslist buy a couple years ago. It was a horrendous reddish/orange color - didn't matter; I still loved it for what it could do. Then the shutter spring started to get weak and wasn't strong enough to always return the shutter to its starting position. I could bang it on my hand to reset it, but eventually made the lens go off it's track and it was stuck... So I got another CL Holga and put this one on the display shelf. Well I resurrected it! I fixed the triangle light leaks, fixed the stuck lens, put a pinhole on the defunct aperture switch and painted her purple! I have a full walk through on my Flickr showing the steps I took: www.flickr.com/photos/susan-lawson/sets/72157625987032768... I can't wait to throw a roll through her now! The only thing I still have to do is fix the shutter spring...
Rotary dial with nifty removable numbers plate to give it a two tone effect. Equipped with phone jack, works great for making calls and display, however the ringer doesn't ring, needs to be set beside another phone if you want to receive calls.
my favourite song lately. (aside from young frankenstein the musical)
it was my birthday, and i drove to my aunt and uncle's house in santa monica (correction: my mother drove; my car is in the shop til mid-february.) where we went to see benjamin button, and then had dinner.
benjamin button was the most beautiful movie i've ever seen, and i was crying from the very first scene. the end made me sob. it's weird to sob in theatres. for the hour following the showing, i couldn't fight the longing to lay in bed and wail into my pillow. i love movies like that.
for my birthday, i got $100 from my aunt/uncle, and a 50mm f/1.8 lens (EXCITED) from my mom. michael's gift is still in transit, as he ordered it. hmm.
MacroMondays - Technology
To really tie in the technology theme, this is the ethernet chip on a Raspberry Pi.

Röhren der Ruhe
Ist schon etwas ruhig um mich geworden... (bleibt wohl vorerst auch noch so...) ;))
There has not been much news about me lately... (for now it looks like it stays that way...) ;))

As with my Tokyo sanpo photos, I have to start off with an apology for not having posted any photos yet (over six months have already passed), or thanking everyone that joined me. As with Tokyo, I was far from productive... choosing to chat and have fun with my Kansai friends over shooting, shooting, shooting.
So big thanks to Fukuda-san for helping plan the sanpo route and organize with me. Thanks as well to an-san, Charlie-san, Fumi-san, hyossie-san, Kiyoko-san, Junko-san, Maeda-san, Makio-san, Minoru-san, Roger, sonnar-san, Yoshi-san, Yoshiki-san, and Yume-san for joining another awesome Osaka exploration.
As well, an extra special "arigatou!" needs to go out to the long-distance travellers that joined us in Osaka: Kiyoshi-san (Yokohama), Mitsuru-san (Hiroshima), and Takeno-san (Fukuoaka). Wow! All three of you travelled hundreds and hundreds of kilometres to join us... sugoi ne!
And let's not forget my friend Yuko, who met us after lunch and spent the rest of the day wandering around with us... even though she's not a photographer and had no camera!
Tsuyunoten Shrine, Kita-ku, Osaka. November 29, 2015.
By the way... I'll be back for sanpo again in early November. Get in touch if you want to join me and my friends or if you have a great idea for an Osaka, Kobe, or Kyoto sanpo route!
How many Kilometers have you driven so far with your car?
And will you ever reach 1.6 Million Kilometers.
Well, I had the pleasure beeing picked up by a man who drove this old boy from 0 to 1.6 Million Kilometers. This old boy is a truck. A very big truck(approx. 25 meters long).
This is one of my favourite memories from hitchhiking in canada with a friend of mine. It was incredible to sit in the back of the cabin and just watch the man driving through the sharpest bends and listening to his stories of beeing a truck-driver.
Now the picture. I just loved how this old truck looked like. The steering wheel. The speedometer and all the other good looking stuff. With the afternoonsun litting them I could not resist to take some pictures.And I wanted to capture this crazy amount of kilometers he drove.
Hope you like it.
