It looks like I will be away from my desk for two weeks or so… typical hi-jinx should resume on or around the fifth of November.
In the meantime keep calm and enjoy this Friggin’ Loon endorsed graphic.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

I usually don’t repost things, but I was so shocked pleasantly surprised to learn this photo made it into The Antique & Classic Camera Blog Image Contest I decided to make an exception! If you’ve got an extra minute or two please consider checking out all the other great entries (featuring some beautiful equipment and processes). And, if you feel like it, please vote for any of the eight images you like best. Although, if entry No. 4 happens to be your favorite… I wouldn’t feel too badly about that.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Here’s a different look at my Duaflex II. And, yes… I remembered to duck, so any reflections do not belong to me. You’re welcome. Have a great weekend, everyone!
Derek Zoolander: “Well I guess it all started the first time I went through the second grade. I caught my reflection in a spoon while I was eating my cereal, and I remember thinking ‘wow, you’re ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career.”
Matilda: “Do what for a career?”
Derek Zoolander: “Be professionally good looking.”
