Đá Nguyễn (The Scooterist): Thanks for the kind words.

Your blog is great and the visual presentation elegant. Qskulls adds a style element that is hard not to appreciate. Almost has me wanting to add a vintage Vespa to my garage!

I'll be posting about your blog soon and adding you to my blog roll.

Scooters are one of the most exciting sports I’ve ever known. It is very relaxing and super entertaining as well. Enjoy!

Seems to me the photos are by a pair of Holga holdouts.
Mind I understand the loss by sales of mechanical cameras. All of m ine are now gone, by dint of nobody willing to repair them in Canada, at least in my neck of the woods. So the remaining film camera is a Nikon F100, and a Pentax S108 half-way automatic. Digital though is different, picked up a used new Pentax K-r with an 18-135 lens for a song.
Light in weight, accommodating and really all I now require.
Sold the D90 to KEH along with all my other digital point and shoots.

I think we all find ourselves not getting enough riding time. Life happens. It seems to retain our sanity we need two wheels and wind.

Martha: Thanks for the kind words. I think I should break out a Merton book again and do some reading.

bobskoot: My Leica M6 and lenses will be the last to go because of the same fear that I'll wish I had them later. I've sold an M6 before without problems but that's probably because I still had one I could use.

Sold my JOBO CPP2 as well. If I were going to continue in film I would want to get another. But as you said -- digital seems easier...

I'll be posting about the mechanical stuff -- Steve learns to be a junior mechanic!

Lovely post. And an unexpected pleasure to see a quote from Thomas Merton. Thank you for that.

Steve:

I made the mistake years ago to sell some collectible Leicas. I got rid of an M4, M2, IIIG along with matching lenses. I wished I had kept them. Thank goodness I still have my M6's, CL and a few LSM. I should have sold my M645Pro, Hassy CM500 and Superwide but now it is too late as I don't want to culminate the loss.

I keep thinking about doing the chemical thing. I still have a Jobo but who knows, digital just seems easier.

can't wait to read about your mechanical adventurers. I also wished I knew more about this and that
