Re: Something for Henk

[Bruce Nagel]

Is there something more to it than maintaining the list of quotations that
folks call out to be 'MARK'ed (and add the occasional side quotation of
course)?

If not, then I'm game to take it on.  I've been collecting quotations since my
college days anyway.  I have a PDML-file that has (most of) the ones flagged in
2021 and 2022 already anyway.

If there /is/ more to it, spill the beans...?  Maybe I'll still sign on the
dotted line anyway.  (I know, I know, press hard, you're making three copies.)

All of that given Mark being okay with it - as has been remarked before, it's
his baby...

Re: Pentax is considering releasing a new film camera

[Bruce Nagel]

On Tue, 20 Dec 2022 Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote:


I'm somewhat abashed to see people who can list all of their cameras. I know I 
have six digital cameras, not counting iPhone and iPad(s) cameras. But film 
cameras ? sheesh, every time i open a drawer or a box I find a couple more. I 
don't know how many I have at all, but it's a number well past 30. At a quick 
glance, I counted nine Polaroid cameras alone?!



The accretion over time thing is at work. Many of these cameras I've acquired 
and used over decades of time. A few more than most, but such are the vagaries 
of whimsy.



Many/most film cameras are available for dirt cheap prices now. But that 
doesn't mean that any person who has gotten interested in using a film camera 
shouldn't have the option to buy a fine new film camera from a Leica, a Pentax, 
and/or some other quality brand name. As long as the manufacturer can make a 
profit commensurate with their investment to go into production, there's no 
downside to it. I'd like a new Leica M6 or M-A: I certainly don't need one, but 
it's nice to have the option available.


I have to say I'm good with the K1000 I inherited from my dad but if Pentax
thinks there's a market developing then I wish them luck.  Places to get the
existing film cameras maintained have to be getting fewer, not to mention parts
so if the interest in shooting film continues eventually new cameras may be
needed.

This project got pretty far along the development curve:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/reflexcamera/reflex-bringing-back-the-analogue-slr-camera

It might be nice to see Pentax (or someone) pick up that ball and run with it,
if they're going to do a new film SLR, although it doesn't address Pentax-
specific needs like focus drive.  It depends heavily on who the potential
market is for such a camera.  Some would *love* to be able to swap out the lens
mount and use tons of legacy glass from every manufacturer under the sun.  Of
course that wouldn't drive sales of any new glass.  At least someone should
steal that interchangeable film back design.  :-)

In any case, if they go for it I hope they do their market research and make
money at it.  It's interesting now that we're here and film is becoming a
niche thing that it's following the exact curve we talked about in my photo
class in college.  Much of fine-art printmaking developed out of available 
commercial printing processes when they were supplanted by newer processes

(from engraving and stone-based lithography to metal-plate litho, silkscreen,
etc. - we had old second-hand litho stones in our printmaking studio with
designs of bank certificates on them in Spanish, had cheap from closing print
shops in South America).  Digital photography was in its infancy then but we
saw that it was gaining capability and would eventually be good enough for
commercial work and leave film behind.  For a while it appeared film might die
entirely, but instead folks are keeping it alive, to some degree, for other
purposes.

GESO: more Flora

[Bruce Nagel]

When I had to pick something for the last PUG I had to sort through things
and find something appropriate and found many more than I expected to be
honest.  (Some of the best ones come from West Hylebos Wetlands Park near
Tacoma, WA.)

So I created a new Flickr album for all those that didn't get
chosen for the PUG:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/losthalo/albums/72157720118645940/with/8884257745/

command - or my command - from unemployed rural Pennsylvania.

Farm + Garden = Growing

Contrary to some others I actually like the composition and the inclusion of

individual.  I think there is a good balance to the composition but I do wish 
there were just a wee wider strip of sand between the rock and the edge of the 
frame in the bottom right.  I like that the back portion of the shell mimics 
the angle of the profile of the rock.

Is it resting its head there because the rock is warm?  I like the shot, it says 
"Yeah I'm just going to rest here a moment."

If you've managed to kill that many Model M's there must be some sort
of dubious prize out there somewhere waiting for you.

Those things are built like frakking *tanks*!

Baxter the cat jumped off my shoulder onto my desk and knocked a full
cup of coffee over into my keyboard. She's gone off to sulk because she
didn't like being scooped up and moved out of the way so I could try to
dry the keyboard with towels.



Cat's alright (other than some hurt feelings) but the keyboard is DEAD!



I had to dig out my last spare, brand new in the box, Genuine IBM  Model
M keyboard to replace it.



I should have bought more than a dozen way back when.
