    My new camera came yesterday, an original Yashica Electro 35 (not a G series). It's in AMAZING condition. Almost brand new condition. The only visible sign of its age is the label on the inside of the battery cover is peeling. Wow. The best part is that it came with the original hard case, the add-on view finder, a wide angle lens and UV/haze lens for it, a telephoto lens and UV/haze lens for it, a UV/haze lens for the camera, the auto up adaptor. The works. For $65, you can't beat that. I might be sending it off to Mark Hama (Mark Hama Yashica repair site) to have the electric eye adjusted so I can use it with alkaline batteries rather than hunting high and low for illegal mercury batteries.
    I'm taking the wide angle out with me this weekend. I can't wait.
    I've had too much caffeine and I feel sick to my stomach from it.
    Yech.
    Oh yeah. You might want to bookmark this site. You know, just in case.

    Still accepting questions for the 'about' page on my site. C'mon people! Please?

  • Just some quick thoughts. After going through almost all of the links on the Photo Friday challenge, I'm thinking to myself.. "How can so many people take pictures of the same thing?" Flaking, peeling paint. Beat up old cars. Condemned buildings. I'd say that's about 90% of the subjects, out of 300+ sites. COME ON PEOPLE. Sheesh. I'd say about 5-10 photos contained people as subject (including mine), and 2 photos were of something entirely different (like this one, which i thought was pretty spiffy). Grrr.
    On the work front, I applied for, and got, a new job position. Bonuses include: a nice pay increase and working from home. Stoked. So supremely stoked.
    And to top off a great day, I received a postcard from Vegas.

    Also, I've decided that the "about" on my site page is sucky. I'd like for anyone commenting to leave a question, about anything, and I'll choose the best ones to use on the page.

    Don't forget to check my Photo of The Day.

  • No more photos here. From now on, they'll be here. The weblog is still a little buggy, and you'll see some older pics for a little bit. I apologize for the HTML/CSS weirdness that's going on over there. I haven't had a whole lot of time to just sit down and edit everything.

  • Quote of the year:

    ... Somalia, which has a Minister of Tourism, has officially not had a single tourist for 14 years. The [Minister of Tourism], Abdi Jimale Osman, can't understand this. "I'm sure tourists would leave Somalia alive and I'm hopeful they wouldn't be kidnapped," he is reported as saying. "At least, we would try to make sure they were not kidnapped, though it can happen."
