this dream in motion

    My Mamiya decided - somewhere between Chiang Mai and Bangkok, it would seem - that it had had enough of aperture adjustments, and dug its heels in at f16: all the pictures I took in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and last-day-Singapore are underexposed except the ones shot stopped-down.

    My Polaroid 680 sadly stopped functioning at the start of our holiday, and now this wonderful lens is going to have to be sent off for repairs. I feel very discouraged indeed.

      so sorry to hear of your camera troubles. seems like the same has been happening to mine. 3 needing repair and 2 irreparable in a month...

      Alas, you'll now need to bring back your lovely Great Wall shots for the time being !

      I'm liking the yellow writing..."if the going gets tough, the tough get going" sounds like a song lyric to me, a happy song at that :)
