Tageswerk is a photoblog i’ve already been folowing for quite some time. But only now i discovered Christian Baron’s second photoblog ‘feel the surface’. This special concept only contains 6 pictures until now, but i’m already a fan. I like this very personal project of his very much.

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 …

sometimes things going wrong can turn out quite right …
I read something over at Pietel’s and eyecandy’s blog this morning which got me confused. I also work with mac and noticed colours aren’t always what they’re supposed to be. The results are different in every application i use, though colour profiles are the same. This ColorSync sounds promising indeed, but doesn’t seem to fulfill expectations. Or am i not using this correctly? I should get into this more thoroughly because colours are too important in my line of work to not get them right. Anyway, not now, later on today … this is too complicated on an early saturday morning … haven’t had my coffee yet.
Suggestions anyone?
Damned! Damned! Damned!
Apparently the film got stuck inside my camera and i took pictures, a whole weekend long, over the same part. There was no way i could’ve known because everything felt like it was working just fine …
This leaves me overwhelmed with dissapointment, grieving for my lost pictures of such a wonderful weekend in beautiful Mexico city! These pictures of the city i fell in love with are now only captured in my head.
Well, i guess i’ll have to go back, that’s the good part …
Lesson learned: always pack digital camera too!
I can still show you a few snapshots taken with lomo’s don’t think, just shoot-mentality.
One shot taken inside the airplane (flying is not quite my favourite waste of time, luckily the flight only took an hour). Some of the incredibly charming hotel where we stayed, too bad i can’t show you the uniforms the staff was wearing! And one of the ‘Reforma’, one of the most important streets in D.F.
