Alternative title - A glutton for punishment.
Against all logic and common sense and in spite of my concerns regarding the recently obtained CZJ Sonnar 180mm 2.8 lens as well as the contradictory feelings about medium format photography I decided to buy a camera that might do justice to the Sonnar - after all it was designed for 6 x 6 format.
I picked up a reasonably priced Kiev 88 that also included the 80mm 2.8 ARSAT C. It looked good too.
Alas, looks aren't everything - my test roll caused a huge disappointment. The transport mechanism (apparently common to Kiev, Pentacon 6, and its derivatives) is intermittently overlapping images. The TTL metering is out by 1.5-2 EV and the 80mm lens (which generally has favourable reviews) is the worst piece of glass (since my Lubitel) I've used.
Fortuitously the gentleman who sold me the kit is behaving like one and is willing to take it back with a full refund.
The whole episode reminds me of a Hungarian saying when one is buying an overcoat to go with a button one has :-))
Guan Kee Kopitiam is a local coffee shop selling dim sum along Jalan Haji Abu, the street also name as Glutton Street or Muar Avenue 4.
This dim sum shop established ard 1950 in Muar, along the street u can found all famous local delight street foods. In front have 2 foods cart selling roasted duck/ chicken rice and cha siu bao.
This Creation was base on early 1940 pre-war building design, which have typical Asian wooden window, Europe influenced cornice and carving pillar at front facade.
Due to maintaining the shop owner had been renovated the shop house front facade into more modern types of design.
The pumpkins in the front yard are attracting some gourmets'. Not bad being able to use my own living room as a shooting blind.
This gull swallowed the starfish whole! Must have been uncomfortable going down. Seen at the floatplane dock downtown Vancouver.

Momo is a Winged-Lemur and a loyal companion of Aang and his team. He is the only winged-lemur known to have survived the Air Nomad genocide, where he appertained to the Southern Air Temple after. However, the fact that his species is recognized by various characters throughout the series gives an indication that Momo may still have living bretheren around the world.Momo is an intelligent creature, but is either incapable or selective of understanding human speech. He is also a glutton for any available fruit. Momo's behavior is more cat-like than that of real life lemurs. His wings appear to retract within the fur of his arms and he appears to have four fingers and two additional ones within the wing membrane that can be seen when he has his wings extended. His fur is mostly white with some select black stripes and a black face, which has two proportionately large green eyes.In late 99 ASC, Momo is thought to have began living in the ruins of the Southern Air Temple, either alone or with a family of lemurs. When Team Avatar visited the temple that year, Avatar Aang took interest in him and wanted to take him as his new pet. When Aang, Katara, and Sokka were in the sanctuary of the temple, they heard a noise from the door indicating that someone had entered to the room.Team Avatar, thinking that it was a Firebender, hid behind an Avatar statue until they saw that the intruder was only a lemur. As Aang approached the lemur, it fled only to be caught by him after following it, to Aang's disbelief and shock, into a room laden with the corpses of Fire Nation soldiers surrounding the skeleton of Monk Gyatso. Aang's horror and grief quickly becomes rage causing him to enter the Avatar State, calming down only after Katara consoles him. Desperately hungry, Sokka wanted to eat their newly discovered companion for dinner but, Aang decided to keep the lemur as a pet, naming him "Momo" after seeing him eat a moon peach. From this moment on, Momo remained a constant addition to their family, accompanying the team on their journeys throughout the series.Momo is typical of his species; curious, intelligent with a touch of mischievousness. Momo is an asset to the team for his friendly and playful ways which helps to feed Sokka's humor as the straight man, this brings much needed levity to the group from time to time. Appa and Momo appear to have a special bond, which may be due to linguistic understanding, or they have developed one of those 'special bonds' which is rare between different animal species. Momo is also adept in many situations, such as with the pygmy pumas that were chasing him for food only to find themselves on the menu. Momo provided their escape and at the same time made new friends. These traits all go along to making Momo cute and adorable by the team, as well as others that he meets throughout his travels.Momo uses his wings for gliding and flying. He can also swim short distances underwater whilst holding his breath.He hasn't proved any fighting skill, due his size and capabilities as an animal, but he has helped Team Avatar numerous times on various occasions. Momo has also shown some type of intelligence, as he helped Katara when she was strapped, and helped Sokka with fighting Fire Nation soldiers.Momo has shown on various occassions that he understands human language, but he doesn't understand Katara when she tells him he has to get water.Momo also has a lot of strength, as he can sustain a person in the air who's approximately Aang's weight or possibly more.

The northern gannet (Morus bassanus) is a seabird and the largest member of the gannet family, Sulidae. It has the same colours as the Australasian gannet and is similar in appearance.
Nesting in colonies as large as 60,000 pairs on both sides of the north Atlantic this bird undertakes seasonal migrations and is a spectacular high-speed diver.
Old names for the northern gannet include solan and solan goose.
They have a maximum lifespan of up to 35 years.
The gannets are large white birds with yellowish heads; black-tipped wings; and long bills. Northern gannets are the largest seabirds in the North Atlantic, with a wingspan of up to 2 metres (6.6 ft). Gannets hunt fish by diving from a height into the sea and pursuing their prey underwater.
Gannets have a number of adaptations which enable them to do this:
no external nostrils, they are located inside the mouth instead;
air sacs in the face and chest under the skin which act like bubble wrapping, cushioning the impact with the water;
positioning of the eyes far enough forward on the face for binocular vision, allowing them to judge distances accurately.
Gannets can dive from a height of 30 metres (98 ft), achieving speeds of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) as they strike the water, enabling them to catch fish much deeper than most airborne birds.
The gannet's supposed capacity for eating large quantities of fish has led to "gannet" becoming a disapproving description of somebody who eats excessively, similar to "glutton".

Local street food is a must try when you visit Singapore. One of the best places to enjoy Singapore local street food is in Makansutra, a Food Center with large number of hawkers to indulge in a variety of local street food such as satay, chili crab, oyster omelette, and fried carrot cake. Makansutra Glutton’s Bay gives diners a taste of local food with a spectacular view of the Marina Bay skyline. Unlike typical hawker centres, sampler sets are offered for those who want to try everything but simply don’t have the stomach space to!
We came upon this Capuchin (Cebus libidinous) monkey after photographing Giant River Otters just around the bend. This little guy is from the same Capuchin monkey family that posed and performed high wire acts for us. However this one increased the level of difficulty by having his left hand clutch a cluster of figs, his right hand stuff his face with figs, and his tail steady his body so he can swing for more figs. The Little Glutton.

Before she decided if it was worthy or not to go ahead and take an extra bite of that creamy chocolate cupcake...
Why does food that taste good have to be so bad for us?
But in the healthy vs tasty debate, we all end up being glutton most of the time... and eat the cupcake! Funny thing... in the XXI century, it could be a cupcake, a muffin or a doughnut what would have us exiled from Paradise... an apple is too healthy now! LOL

This build was a pain to complete! I tried to recreate Guzzlord's many wacky design details as well as possible. It may not be 100% accurate in proportions, but I think I was able to capture this Ultrabeast's essence pretty well. His whole mouth cavity glows in the dark, which is pretty cool.
Welcome to the Ultra Beasts Collab! Find the other extra-dimensional Ultra Beasts from these iconic moc builders:
In the beginning of June there is very little, if any, dark time in Finland which made it possible to photograph wildlife through the night. The nightless nights in The Land of The Midnight Sun is a captivating, surreal phenomenon to people who visit the region.
Animals take an advantage of the long days and are actively foraging, hunting, and storing food for dark winter time. Most of the mammals and birds live by the circadian rhythm and are not considerably affected by the nightless nights.
I stopped by Target cuz I'm a glutton for punishment and I happened across these.
Target didn't have the boxes or the shelves marked with their prices.
Highland Wildlife Park, Kincraig, Cairngorms
A first visit to the Highland Wildlife Park for over 30 years. My wife and I were members of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland way back when we lived in Edinburgh, even having part of our wedding reception in Edinburgh Zoo. It's great to be back.
My rear hurt very badly. And Cullinan was neighing at me as if he'd be laughing.
That was the last straw.
I turned around and said, "Right. That's it. You once and for all messed with the wrong colt, young man. Come here yOU LITTLE...!!!", before I started chasing him.
The other horses on the pasture were watching us as the two of us ran around. They probably thought we were just playing and remained calm the entire time.

BOX DATE: 1976
MANUFACTURER: Mattel
DOLLS IN LINE: Marie; Donny; Jimmy (dated 1978)
RELEASES:1976 separately sold; 1976 "2 Pack"
BODY TYPE: 1966; Twist 'N Turn waist; one bent arm, one straight arm; hole in hand for microphone; bend & snap legs; small defined toes
HEAD MOLD: 1976 "Marie Osmond"
PERSONAL FUN FACT: Believe it or not, I got all three of my lovely Marie Osmond dolls on the same day, from the same seller. Yes, I am definitely a Marie Osmond doll glutton! The irony is that I had previously never found them attractive, nor do I have any idea who Marie and Donny Osmond are. I've had J Michael Augstyniak's Thirty Years of Mattel Fashion Dolls book for several years now. It was in that book that I first learned of Donny and Marie's existence. Honestly, I found them both...ugly. But I kept seeing Donny around an awful lot when I first began collecting dolls again in 2011. I naturally love guy dolls, so he always piqued my interest. During the fall of 2013, I spotted my Marie doll on the far left in a box with an old Twist 'N Turn Barbie. I bought the Barbie, but not Marie. had the dolls only been $1 or $2 instead of $5, I probably would have scooped up Marie that day. I had a hunch Marie was wearing her original outfit. When I got home, I was mad at myself for not buying Marie too, because I had been right about her outfit....and I'm really into collecting celebrity dolls. For a week or so, I hated myself for not grabbing Marie. However, I got my opportunity to buy her again not long after. I remember recognizing the boxes of old, vintage toys the dolls were in. I actually found my Marie in the middle, sitting in one of the boxes. She was wearing some knock off outfit, but I really didn't care at that point. Yeah, I was frustrated with myself for not buying the nicer Marie a few weeks prior, but at least I was going to go home with a Marie Osmond doll. The woman seemed to translate this as a love for Marie Osmond, so she was eager to show me her other Marie doll who was nicer. She opened up a Barbie case she had, which contained Island Fun Ken, Sun Gold Malibu Barbie, two Marie dolls, and several other things. I spotted the perfect looking Marie doll. However, the girl on the far right was also in the case...and I felt bad for her. The seller said she was the "ugly" Marie, and the poor dear was wearing the wrong outfit. Her hair was also in two yellow hair elastics--she kind of looked like a Spice Girls doll (Scary Spice). My heart went out to her...so what did a true doll hoarder like myself decide to do? Well, it was pretty obvious--not only should Ken, Barbie, and the nice Marie come home with me, but also the other two Marie dolls. Hey, I wasn't going to put down the first Marie I grabbed...I didn't want to "hurt her feelings." So now, I have an innate fondness for all Marie Osmond dolls. They are some of my favorite celebrity dolls in my collection. Every time I see them in my doll container, I get really giddy and I giggle a lot.
Sometimes it's the dolls you never expect to like, the ones that you think you are immune to, that win you over. I love all three of my Marie Osmond dolls deeply--it is a love that I cannot even translate into words. Ironically, my favorite of the trio happens to be Mrs. Shabby--the doll on the far right. I bought her only out of pity initially, but these days, she is the queen bee. She needed a lot of extra work and love to fix up. The metal elastics in her hair had left pretty severe dent marks in her saran locks, and her tresses didn't lay down flatly like they were supposed to. If that weren't enough, I also realized that this doll had a factory defect of sorts. Her lower torso, beneath her twist 'n turn waist, is facing the wrong way. That means her butt cheeks are facing forward! I could already distinguish her apart from my other two gals with ease, but this quirk will always be another way to tell her apart. I love and cherish my trio of Marie Osmond dolls with every fiber of my being--I cannot imagine my collection without them!
My first time at Le Premier... The only thing French about this place is the bread and cheese station, but overall, the food isn't bad, and nor is the price. I don't usually like buffets, but it was mum's treat, and how can I ever say no to that? ;)
No longer a Le Premier virgin.
