Sitting in Idyllwid drinking iced coffee

[curmugeon]

Stopped by to pick up some bike wheels I just got serviced, then thought I'd take the time to sit, relax, and chill in the clean mountain air. Good town, good people, free wifi.

So far today I have sorted through stuff, shredded a lot of papers, and checked how I'm going to get the old chest type freezer out of the house. The doorways are just wide enough, but I only have one practical route, and that has an obstacle that wasn't there when the freezer was brought in, so I'll have to be creative or do some demolition of the back porch 'mud room".

In the realm of bikes, I did change pedals on two bikes, and work on the changeover of handlebar style on my 'go fast' road bike. I may do a bit more tonight, if I stay awake.

Tomorrow I take a mini road trip and do some pictures in Cajon Pass, time for some train stuff. I'll ready the cameras tonight.

Speaking of cameras, does anyone still shot film?

I still use my film camera! (but don't take pics very often, and then don't get rolls developed...on my to-do list)

Want a good SLR? I'll give you a vintage Nikon Nikkormat and a good zoom lens...I mean vintage, match needle metering, and manual focus... but very sharp and with a zoom lens you can get creative.

Oooh, thanks, that sounds nice, but not for me - i'm just a point-and-shoot kind of person, in spite of my interest in the art of photography. My brother-in-law (sister's husband) used to be deeply involved in amateur photography - including some gallery exhibits - and I'll ask him, but don't think he's into it any more.

If you still have your film camera Rob may be interested... I'll ask. Also I LOVELOVELOVE Idyllwild. It's probably on my top 10 fave places on the planet.


Hope you're doing well!

While I sit in the coffee place in Idyllwid, I reply...

I have an old Nikkormat 35mm and I'll add a zoom lens. Give me an address or a phone number and we'll arrange a way to ship. The camera works well for an old camera and the lens is sharp, I might even add a second lens as I have a few extra around.

All you have to do is pay me for what the postage cost is...
