This group always shames me to get the pentax out. http://donspix.posterous.com/ Don, you certainly need to take more pictures and not just because the skies are gray, you know. Having said that, I might suggest something different. You see, the flower picture on the (most) uniform background is very well known motif. What about a flower picture on the regular background of other weeds and/or flowers but done in such a way that it still feels 3D and the background does not distract the viewer? It is not easy, but it may be more fun.

Re: Peso: Old BP Pump

Re: Zombies invade Boston
It takes about 6 months of planning to get everything setup, and there are rules that the participants are supposed to follow. Things like no Airsoft guns, everyone follows the planned route, no scaring civilians (too much). The participants are pretty good about following the rules, and everyone has a good time.

Thanks Bob and Christine. Nearly all of the photos I've posted to Flickr since May 5th have come out of the GXR. I'm finding it a very useful compact camera which produces great results.

This configuration ... camera, 28mm EFL module and optical finder ... so far has been my base kit: http://homepage.mac.com/godders/ricoh-gxr-a12_28.jpg I love using it with the simple optical finder so much that I've got a Leica 5cm finder coming to use with the A12 50mm EFL module, and already have a Voigtländer 75mm finder to use with the 50mm Skopar when the camera module for it arrives.

RE: Boris PESO #22 - Communicating
i wear readers over my sunglasses fairly often (to my partner's embarassment) I once had grandma look, these is where you glasses are (on the forehead) event happen to me and my grandmother. Since then, I have a bit of aversion towards putting things where I cannot see them... Boris these things become such an automatic reflex. A couple of days ago I sat down to read and without thinking about it, took my reading glasses from their case and put them on. Picked up my book, then reached for my glasses case only to see that my glasses weren't in there. It took a couple of minutes of searching before I embarrassedly realised I was wearing them.
