Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert blames the Lebannon goverment for the terrorist attack on Israeli soldiers. Smell of war. I dont want war.

my Yashicamat 124g is back from a shutter overhaul at Oleg Khalyavin (http://okvintagecamera.com/) i want to try it – and will soon. I need a hood and orangered filter – it also lacks some basic parts – a fresnel screen;a battery cap -,the back element has a small scratch the front element has cleaning marks – still I love it! i wouldnt mind getting more tlr’s(even dead – I would like to try fixing one myself-I am toying with the idea of learning camera repair) – If enybody has a parts cameraparts – contact me!

Syd Barrett died 7/7/6 of diabetes at age 60.

this is the end beautiful friend

The next photos were taken with the pentax k-1000 with 50/2A SMC on delta 100 in tetenal 1+20(possibly yellow filter for first two?)during the trip to ceasarea and the surrounding areas and in Beer Sheba(my town).

I call them : “The male agressor”,”middeterenean hobbit”,”two out of three” and “insomniac”.

Those two were taken in the middle of the night,with one diffused 60 or 80 watt bulb ,with 6 years expired delta 100 in tetenal 1+20 for 10(?) minutes with the jupiter 8 on the zorki 4 f2;1/25 handheld. The model Is my lovely girlfriend Anna.
I call them “sensual” and “morticia’s closet”

These were also taken with the zorki – on ilford delta 100 with a 2/3 stops yellow filter (except the first which is either delta 400 or ilford pan 400)all are in tetenal 1+20.

I like the zorki – i can handhold it up to 1/25 as for now – it is small and easy to focus. What I hate is the lack of precise framing – it drives me mad.I like the out of focus areas of the J-8 but dont like the way it flares and the lack of click stops,I like the focusing lever and the glow wide open.

There might be a summitar(I’ve been offered one for 75$ with a scratched back element- I am contemplating) in my future.

I will pick the Prague films(and more) when I have the time(and money – the scanning and development probably piles up to 100$)

I discovered Bob Dylans “Nashville Skyline” woooow maaaan.It kicks ass more then Highway 61!
