ties’n things

This is what a wedding on a mexican beach looks like …

I’m off for a couple of days. Friends of ours are getting married this weekend on the lovely island ‘Isla Mujeres’. See you on tuesday (if i’m coming back at all …).

This Pentax MZ-M went crazy today, absolutely lost his head.
He’s rewinding the film when i’ve just loaded a new one, he opens his shutter for 30 seconds when he should only expose 1/500 and he makes robot noises! So, as far as i can tell he’s physically still in good shape, but mentally disturbed. I’m quite sad about this because it was my very first analogue reflex camera and also my only one. Guess this means i’m going strictly digital for a while …

Now i can use some advise.
Shall i have this one fixed or shall i just sell it, if it’s still worth anything? I shoot a lot with my Nikon D70 and was already planning on expanding my gear into that direction. Although it will cost me more i think buying myself an analogue Nikon body would be the logical thing to do. Let me know what you think and if you have some, throw in some camera suggestions too …

> If anyone is interested in this camera (for spare parts?) or the lens (smc pentax-a, 1:4-5.6, 35-80mm), let me know!

… full of emotions.

I’m currently going through my archives to sort out all my work and i came across this old family picture. This is a very good one actually, cause i believe it says a lot about what kind of children the three of us were. Bram was, still is, the entertainer. Chien didn’t care, she just did what she wanted to do (aren’t all baby sisters like that? ;-). And i was just trying to be a good girl, the caring big sister … Now we are all grown up (i can hear my dad say: “oh, really?”) and gone very different ways. Bram is the sous-chef at restaurant ‘Savoury’, Chien is studying english and dutch and i’m a graphic designer. I must honestly say: they are the best brother and sister you can imagine!

sometimes things going wrong can turn out quite right …
