Friday, June 29th - wallet stolen the good news: only one credit card, one debit card and $6 cash in it... got the cards stopped before anyone used them...
bad news - getting my metro pass was a PITA... losing some personal stuff was sad Saturday: The real memorial event for my friend Nora - Thought I was shooting mostly for myself - but actually the family once again wanted certain specific things so the gallery is a bit of stuff I'm proud of and a bit of stuff I had to put in because it was necessary documentation.... This was a truly wonderful event and tribute and had an air of celebration for a life fully lived... here is the link to that gallery http://annsan.smugmug.com/gallery/3085692 A side light to the event was that the exhusband of Nora's older daughter had a K10D. I had not seen him in years but certainly knew him back then and stayed at his home when it was Alices home, too. I mention PDML -- he says he lurks and never has posted... I beseached him to post something from the weekend. We shall see if he does :) :) During the week I find out that two local establishments have closed taht wer dear to the neighborhood. a tiny meat market less than a block from me and a rather well known Polish restaurant called Teresa's. Then there is the ebay nightmare... 1st I sell the Canon EOS film camera and get stiffed on it -- guy never even answers my email - then I try to get my final value fee and click on the wrong button which nullifies my refund (I've already sent email off about that) and THEN I relist the thing and get a phony bid - one more from across the big pond.... a phony paypal for a larger amoung than the camera - you know the drill. Finally, the guy who I designed the book cover for months ago called.... he wants to totally redo the front cover. It's too busy. Mind you, although a lot of folk thought it looked terrific, I have to confess I thought it too busy and confusing and I've never really liked his book title either... I wish I could talk him out of the idea of a guy with a gold walking stick walking in the woods and running into a big boulder... everything is always a rush, of course... I did the BACK cover over 3 times and that involved virtually no graphics - just text changes. It is an op for making some more money but I find it hard to wrap my creative brain around his concept. Sigh. all of this is eclipsed by the unexpected passing of another person - the older sister of one of my very closest friends. So I'm kinda a mess ann -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
