Okay, so I performed at an event called Marching Through Time
(historical military reenactors of various periods and wars,
from bronze-age Celts and the Roman Legion through WWII and
Vietnam, all in one place, setting up demo camps and taking
turns staging more active demos on the battlefield). When I
wasn't playing, I got in a little shooting with the K1000,
the K2, and the Holga. (Tomorrow (same event) I figure I'll
substitute the Program Plus or the PZ-10 for the K1000, unless
I decide to give an H1a some exercise for a change.)
Note 1: _Remember_ that I've got a wide-angle in the bag
when I notice I want a wide angle ... bringing it doesn't
do any good if I forget I brought it.
Note 2: The Nikon DSLR shooter was, oh jeez, _such_ a hottie
(and smiling and friendly as she shot us, and had a cute
accent) that I instantly decided to overlook the fact that
she wasn't shooting Pentax (not that it made much difference,
as she was gone again a moment later. *sigh*)
Note 3: I thought it'd be cute to use my Holga to catch a
shot of the fellow shooting something large and brand-new-looking
and modern and sleek and fancy-seeming. Except that he kept
noticing me out of the corner of his eye and moving "out of
my way". When I got closer I noticed his sleek, black, brand-new
looking camera was a Mamiya and he had 120 in it. He in turn
noticed my Holga, and said, "Hey, I've heard of those! Where
can I get one?" I was entertained.
I didn't notice any other Pentax shooters. Maybe tomorrow.
(Then again, there were a lot of wee digitals, too small to
see what they were, and I know Pentax makes some damned teeny
ones, so who knows, maybe one of the barely-larger-than-a-keyfrob
digitals was a Pentax?)
And now I am sooooooo tired. Zzzzzzzz.
