i decided to try and wake up at a normal time today... and stay up- even though i went to bed around 6AM- i've been on jet lag schedule for way too long; gotta change my clock somehow. i'm sick of feeling like Dracula!i was installing programs on jackies' laptop [in german] from about 2-6 AM, after the monitor on her regular pc went out. i just hope the laptop works for her... and hope i can figure out what's up with the monitor; i tried two and neither worked.
i keep having sniffles and chills and hope to hell i am not getting a cold or worse- even though this would be the best time to get sick IF i have to, as i have the week off... but i dint get a flu shot before i came over. i am hoping to stay healthy and eventually get out and use some of my cameras i left here [see foto, below] and some i brought with me [not shown] this week.
the biggest black case [bottom] holds my Cosina, which is one of my favorites; i have about 4 of them, and buy every one i find. i've also been finding some killer lenses for them over the years.i've been experimenting with B settings at night [mostly in new orleans] w/a nikon - and think some shots around Bern or Zurich could be very cool- i like to shoot people moving, which makes them looks like ghosts, but the buildings stay stationary- and the train stations and streets might be just the ticket; very titarenko. but... it's sooooo cold. i'm a wuss when it comes to cold. [below: my soymilk, for my coffee, which i keep in the window refrigerator!]
anyway, time for more espresso/soymilk and cigarettes- time to wake up and move- eat vitamins, and maybe even dig around for magazines to begin chopping up to start making collages- a nice indoor sport- which i can shoot with my digital camera or scan... and stay warm.[c] 2008 doug duffey
