So - where are my shots from the NorCal meet?
Answer - still on the hard drive, awaiting my attention. Sunday we went over to Don Quixotes in Felton to catch a show by Shay Michael Black (2/3 of the Black Brothers). See http://www.black-brothers.com if you don't know them. That added a few more shots to the to do list. Then on Monday I caught their show again in San Jose, by invitation this time, which got me a few more possibles. I'm stacking up images that need processing (including picking a couple for my Picture-a-Week gallery). Plus there's this little thing called work, which needs some of my time.

New gear, but now I have a decision to make...
Well, just bought a *ist DS with the 18~55, and one of these days I'll get to receive it... the price we pay for that lovely and cheap address not too close to the sea ;-) But the new (for me, at least) camera means my 35mm gear repair schedule is on hold for some time, and maybe for good. I'm facing a tough choice - wich cameras to keep, wich cameras to let go - and where. I have, currently on sick bay: Mx body, exterior good, broken diaphragm lever, a single risk on the lensmount and shutter erratic. Pentax techs in Sao Paulo believe they can repair it. It's my second Mx body, bought as is for $30. Keep it for parts? Lx body, auto off, mirror working ok but needing alignment, exterior fair. Techs say it's possible, but not probable to make it work. I'm deeply attached to this camera, bought in 1981 and used all around the world, but not as display model. Try to sell it, but what price? Pz1p body, damaged shutter, broken and repaired bottom plate. Techs say parts available, no big deal. Just some cash I'm not ready to pay for a while. Repair it later or just spend the cash on other things Pentax? Gift from a friend currently using Canon. I'm watching BR ebay-like sites, and right now is the wrong time to sell anything 35mm around here - Pentax in particular. Problem aggravated by the fact those cameras are not working and Pentax tech in BR is not so near. I really don't know what to do. Any ideas? Please??? PS: since I can't rely on just one camera, I accepted as payment for some old debts a Canon EOS 500n + 50mm 1.8 and 28~80 whatever, the camera in fair condition but lenses very good. I'd like to sell it and pay the repair of one or two of those cameras, but that means only one 35mm camera until the repairs are successful (if).

RE: PESO: a view from above
p...@web-options.com writes: that's a perfect example of equivocation. Abstraction in painting refers to the removal (ie abstraction) of representation subject matter from paintings, leaving only the formal properties of point, line, surface, volume, space, form, tone and colour. That's the type of abstraction you refer to when you first use the word - abstraction opposed to representation. You then use abstract in opposition to concrete, though I question whether many of your examples are abstract, such as emotions, wealth and power. That is not what abstraction in painting refers to. Mondrian, Kandinsky, Pollock and others are classic examples of abstraction in painting. The purpose is nothing to do with the concepts you list (except in so far as art is a means to wealth, power and strife!), rather the purpose is to make the formal properties themselves the subject of the work. This is not possible with photography because of its inherent relationship with subject matter and our expectations that photographs are 'of' something. So-called abstract photographs always end up as some sort of party game where people try to guess what they are of. Bob === You refer, of course, only to unmanipulated photographs.

Re: Wedding photography, starting price?
One thing i have never had, is a customer come back to me, after buying a day CD, and saying Wally mart etc would not print the photos.

It just never occurred to me that I should, and I'm a bit surprised that no one has had a problem buying prints. When I was still at the Wally-Lab I had several long and somewhat testy conversations with various of my co-drones about this very thing. The theory was that we couldn't print professional work, my take was that if the photographer had put a disc of full resolution files into his customer's hands, he wasn't really in a position to enforce copyright, were he so inclined. But, the fact that it even came up in conversation sensitized me to the problem that customers could run into with getting their own property printed if they ran into a sniveling idiot behind the counter.

Maybe this means that the best option is actually to buy another 35mm Pentax, i.e. one that works? Another MX, perhaps, since you may have a good parts camera for it already. Problem aggravated by the fact those cameras are not working and Pentax tech in BR is not so near. I really don't know what to do. Any ideas? Please??? PS: since I can't rely on just one camera, I accepted as payment for some old debts a Canon EOS 500n + 50mm 1.8 and 28~80 whatever, the camera in fair condition but lenses very good. I'd like to sell it and pay the repair of one or two of those cameras, but that means only one 35mm camera until the repairs are successful (if).

Thanks, Marnie. With some effort, I could go back ('prox 100 miles round trip)
and either take an 8' orchard ladder I bought just for such things or get lower

I'll probably just try to ignore it, now that its been mentioned. ;)

Re: Setting a CWB for flash
If you shoot RAW, you can adjust the white balance during conversion. Just set the camera to auto white balance and fine tune to your taste during conversion. If color temp is critical for a particular job, include a white or gray card in frame for a test shot, then set color temp with the eyedropper when converting. If you're shooting jpegs, and color temp is critical, set the white balance manually before shooting.

Re: New gear, but now I have a decision to make...
Well, I'd probably do that - buy another 35mm Pentax - the moment I sell the Canon kit. Not before, since the $$ is not easy to come by lately. :-/ And there is always a bigger brother (digital) to the DS... Well, I'd better keep working, that's some cash to spend in gear, as soon as I earn it. :-) I have another Mx - ugly but in working order, meant as backup for the Lx until said Lx failed to focus properly during one portrait session I chose to do with ambient light and shallow DOF. Also lost some macro work (focus again, the day before), and a night in the city when the autoexposure quit. In a month I pretty much flunked all the shots I tried using the Lx. I got shocked twice - when I got results form macro portrait, and later when I finished a rather nice nightfall with a couple of digital previews and the will to kick myself for not carrying the spare camera. The funny about buying more 35mm - 2 cameras I'd chose are exactly the Lx and the Pz1p - I love MLU and DOF preview. Toralf, can I tell my wife I'm buying yet another camera on your advice???

This unfortunate degradation with our UK Economy method is simply unacceptable to us and we thank each and every one of you who let us know things weren't right. Although we now have a solution in place, we understand that these shipping delays caused unnecessary frustrations, so we do apologise for any inconvenience. We worked with our European printer and the Swiss Post to correct this situation as quickly as possible. Now, orders going Economy are shipped using an upgraded service that will give you better delivery times without passing on any additional costs to you. We've already started to see marked improvements in delivery times and have gotten good feedback from fellow UK customers. To show appreciation for your patience while we found a better shipping solution, we'd like to take care of the shipping costs on your next order.

There was a late spring that year and there were almost no lilacs blooming - except for the big patch I got in the background of this photo. I had it on my web site, of course, and the following spring one of the organizers of the race asked if I'd let them use the photo in their race promotions.

Here's my response: The fact that you found my image and liked it enough to use it is proof that I don't *need* any additional promotion. What I do need is money and that's what I require in return for use of my work. Never heard back from them. The same kind of thing has happened to me many times :( Now the concept is becoming institutionalized with things like the CNN iReport, which is just photos and videos shot by passers-by of news events and sent in to CNN.

Re: New gear, but now I have a decision to make...
I find no problem in repairing older 35mm gear. His LX lasted nearly 30 years. I'd be surprised if any digital camera available today would be operational half that long (other than museum pieces that never got used). If the repair doesn't cost too much and he can get another couple decades of service out of it, why not?

Re: New gear, but now I have a decision to make...
Luiz, In sympathy... I still have rolls of film in the PZ-1 and MZ-S from when I purchased my first digital. It was a *ist DS and 3+ years ago. I didn't expect to, but I never looked back. I still have film in the freezer, but digital is cheaper and most satisfying! I wouldn't fix anything but the LX. I can't bring myself to sell mine. Keep it for nostalgia. The MX cameras are nice, but have suffered heavy useage. Repair will be more expensive than finding a low milage used copy. Regards, Bob S.

I'm facing a tough choice - wich cameras to keep, wich cameras to let go - and where. I have, currently on sick bay: Mx body, exterior good, broken diaphragm lever, a single risk on the lensmount and shutter erratic. Pentax techs in Sao Paulo believe they can repair it. It's my second Mx body, bought as is for $30. Keep it for parts? Lx body, auto off, mirror working ok but needing alignment, exterior fair. Techs say it's possible, but not probable to make it work. I'm deeply attached to this camera, bought in 1981 and used all around the world, but not as display model. Try to sell it, but what price? Pz1p body, damaged shutter, broken and repaired bottom plate. Techs say parts available, no big deal. Just some cash I'm not ready to pay for a while. Repair it later or just spend the cash on other things Pentax? Gift from a friend currently using Canon. I'm watching BR ebay-like sites, and right now is the wrong time to sell anything 35mm around here - Pentax in particular. Problem aggravated by the fact those cameras are not working and Pentax tech in BR is not so near. I really don't know what to do. Any ideas? Please??? PS: since I can't rely on just one camera, I accepted as payment for some old debts a Canon EOS 500n + 50mm 1.8 and 28~80 whatever, the camera in fair condition but lenses very good. I'd like to sell it and pay the repair of one or two of those cameras, but that means only one 35mm camera until the repairs are successful (if).

Another day, another lens
In my ongoing search for the perfect portrait lens, I picked up one of the new DA*55/1.4 lenses yesterday. My initial impression is that it is about as sharp and contrasty a lens as is possible to buy on this planet. Of course, for what they wanted for it, it had bloody well better be good. The AF is a little painful, it reminds me of the first generation Pentax AF, only quieter. I probably won't be doing much shooting with it for the next few days, but I have a shoot booked in for next Sunday, with the possibilty of another one as well. Pictures in a while.
