We just have to engage them all. Mutual they are and with riding left out, nothing more can be done. The same with blogging and the rest that bring us riders together. I love motorbike conversations, especially those that are bias to mufflers..

Poor Scooter! I hope that its by now back to life and kicking or is it riding! And thank you for the link to that book, Conversations with a motorcycle. I have to read it! and maybe write my own some time.

bobskoot: Those Sony cameras are nice and I've certainly looked them over. But being parked in the Nikon camp for so long the lastest decision has led to a new Nikon D600 arriving on my desk. It's a powerful tool and quiet too -- not much louder, if at all, than my Leica M6.

Coop: Regardless of skill or status with a camera I think all of us are in a constant state of evolution. Every day is a new challenge!

Brent: The film/digital question has taken more energy that I was probably willing to admit. After a lot of consideration and examination of what I do, how I do it, and the results I've concluded that working in film, the process associated with that, is something that works for me.

For a long time I've tried to separate the image from the process but it just doesn't work that way. So film is here to stay for awhile longer. Digital too.

I packed the view camera up earlier today and may venture out into the cold to make some photographs...

Sorry for the delay in responding -- busy busy busy....

Leica and Moleskine – how delightfully analogue – I thoroughly approve! Hope you get the time this Christmas to take a few shots and keep your film mojo alive!

That said – there are a few great digital cameras like the Fuji X100 or X-Pro1 that offer similar compact Leica-esque analogue feel but without the hassle of the film.

Hi Steve: “Still manage to make my way to Saint’s Cafe on Sunday morning but neither Paul nor Gordon have been able to push me one way or the other when it comes to photography. I suppose they have their own demons to wrestle.” Hmm. Not sure we ever have been able to push you. You have always chosen your direction on your own. I can motivate you by inviting you on a photo outing but that’s about all I’ve ever done. I have a new direction in photography worked out. The goal is what it’s always been – photos that connects us, the timeless, eternal and the universal. Today I’m printing one of MM and me playing scrabble in the back yard. It’s a Christmas gift. I hope she doesn’t read this. Paul Daniel

I am amazed at the creativity of riders. Most bloggers have used old motorcycle tires as wreaths but you, you decorated your own bike! That is so cool…I haven’t done my decorations and I keep getting bigger and better ideas on how to go about it.

Here’s hoping you can get your Vespa up and running soon, Steve. As for the photography, it’s much more about the photographer’s eye than the equipment. You’ve got a fantastic eye. The rest will sort itself out.
