Ever since i got on facebook i have almost ceased blogging, or even writing in my journal, which is a drag; but everything seems so time consuming. there seems to be so many projects, so little time. Fb seems to be the fastest & easiest way to communicate.
i just got back from several weeks touring with the band in switzerland, and a short vacation with jackie to the condo in italy, mid tour. of course i carried cameras to europe with me, and shot a lot of film; took my old workhorse the Canon AE1, and Canonet QL17 GIII as well as my casio exilim [digital snapshots] w/which are immediate to upload. i have to hand processed the true black and white film- but the 'color process' B&W can be done anywhere. i used both, with various cameras: my betters slrs, rangefinders, & cheapo plastic cameras. i like the results of film in a plastic camera. i also bought a canon eos 650 [film] the 1st day i arrived, at a brockenstube [thrift store] - which i left in Switzerland so i dont have to wag more cameras back when i go: i already have an arsenal there, too. the less i take, the more i can bring back, whats with all the new luggage restrictions.
at the moment the only fotos i have online of the trip are the digital snapshots are on FB ... and a few in my "foto mondo" blog which i shot with my favorite vivitar plastic fixed focus panorama 'toy' camera.
i realize that the only way i am going to be able to keep up this blog is to do it daily when i am traveling- and not succumb to the convenience of FB- voila
