Pics from last weekend...
My Mormon-entrenched friend, Justin came in from Utah to hang, and Tom & Tommy also ended
up in the Reno/Tahoe area.

Happy Doom Year!
We're already 26 days into 2012 and it has been busier than I can imagine. My
job has me stressed out more than ever, and personally, there is so much on
deck for this year its crazy.
Everyone needs a New Years resolution. I think it is a good thing. At least to try.
Mine, is to be more creative. Even if I have to force it. And one of my ideas to
achieve this is to do something I haven't done in over a decade. Something that
for whatever reason I feel like I need to do. Shoot film. Not digital film, real film.
And my goal was not to do this with a sophisticated modern film camera, but with
an old manual type.
Over the years, we've acquired a fairly decent bag of Nikon gear, so I figured, why
dig out my old Canon when I have a bag full of great Nikkor lenses to shoot with.
So I got online and watched eBay for a couple days. In the process, boredom,
curiosity, and my seemingly insatiable desire to piss small amounts of money
away got the best of me. I ended up buying a bunch of old 35mm cameras, all
of which costed less than $20, some very, very cheap, just for the hell of it.
So I will be shooting with them over the next few months and posting the results.
But to start, I will post some pics I took with the only camera that I spent over
$100 on, an old Nikon FE2. Here she is.
Putting an old manual camera in your hands today, is pretty damn cool as far as I am concerned.
Especially considering that this camera probably cost a helluva lot more originally than what I paid
for it today with two nice lenes on feeBay. It was pretty dusty and needed a little TLC, but it was
easy to get into the nice shape you see above.
