Pride parad 2004 – part three



Today was freakin’ productive:

I watched Children Of Men(great),Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Jane Russell  kicks Marylin Monroe’s ass), Revolver(crap saved only by Ray Leone).

I scanned 3 color films and developed 6 BW(something like 10 BW and 4 color left in the fridge).

I cooked fish and taters.

I fixed the yashica lynx 14e(no meter and needs new leather).

2004 pride parade – individual people


Abbey Road


Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don’t forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears


Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don’t forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
(Lou Reed and teh Velvet Underground – Venus in Furs)


Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like theyre girls
Who do girls like theyre boys
Always should be someone you really love

כשהוא יורד לחוף בצעד לא בטוח
לבבי אליו
כמו ים פתוח
משלח את גליו.
כמו ים פתוח השוטף אל המידבר
כי מה יש פה לומר:
המלח שלי הוא המלאך שלי
הוא המלאך שלי.

עם ערב על החול, בין רציפים ומלט
ושקיעת זהב
אני צוללת
אל התכלת בעיניו.
אני צוללת שהים הוא לה מיבצר
ומה יש עוד לומר:

המלח שלי…

והוא אומר: כשאת מול הספינה עומדת
בשימלה קיצית
את מטרפדת
עמדי את כל הצי.
אני טרפדת מבקיעה אליו ישר
פשוט בשביל לומר:

המלח שלי…

ויום אחד יבוא אפליג איתו הימה
ועל ספינתו
נקימה שמה
את ביתי ואת ביתו.
וכך לא אצטרך לשאול אותו יותר
על מי הוא יותר

המלח שלי…

San Francisco Color and new toys

Big toys for big boys.

Closed a deal on a canon 35/2.8.Waiting for it to arrive(with the canon 50/1.8)
Got an Olympus Pen F which needs slight repair from a gentleman on RFF. These people just bough a guy in Serbia(?) a bessa R3A(?) – the members collected about 40% and Stephen Gandy added the rest. Someone also donated him an M CV lens. Great people.

This is a window shutter(blind?).
I love the peeling paint. Tel Aviv,Nikon fm2n,Sigma28/1.8,plusX.

My dead computer I sent to the lab – hope they find something and not charge me for work and say it’s a software problem(highly doubt it). I potentially found a canon 35/2.8 for my RF. still waiting for the canon 50/1.8. I don’t want to use the Jupiter on it – but I really want to shoot it allready.

Of Mechanical and Electronic cameras.

I hear some people say that electronic cameras are more precise and mechanical ones more reliable.

From my experience a 30 year old Pentax K1000 works and a 20 year old Minolta x-300 doesn’t. My 20 year old Nikon fm2n never skipped a beat and the same age much more proffessional F3 died with no apparent reason(a couple of years after CLA). I’ve seen electronic P&S fail after 10 years and others work after 15. I used a canonet and it was very reliable. On the other hand a Nikon FG I used some works worse then the electro-plasticky N2000 about it’s age.

I had seen Zenits die and had a Praktica die on me. I used a ’58 Zorki 4 which worked like a clock. I sold it and got a canon 7 the same age. I think a leica M2 would outlast the M7 with it’s 50 years of headstart.

I just seem to trust the mechanical ones more after all.


A very sturdy piece of mechanical ingenuity
