The Memorial Day BBQ was terrific-

great food, fun crowd and plenty of refreshments. Met a few interesting people and we all seemed to enjoy ourselves. I developed a couple of rolls of film last night and found some fun shots.

Hard to beat colour on a nice, sunny day

and it was certainly nice and sunny in Zürich today. I went for a walk with a couple from my internet photography forum and we had a most enjoyable time exploring town and taking photos. Looking forward to the Memorial Day BBQ tomorrow- might even take a camera along for some fun  :-)

I had a great scanning lesson yesterday

and after wasting an hour or more, I have come across a couple of very basic things which will improve quality and save me time. Who said that men won't read instructions?  :-)

So, let's carry on with colour...

Went to the Duck Races in Zürich today with Patricia and Stefan. What started as a school project ended up being a pretty well supported charity event with the earnings going to the Cancer Council. Good stuff!

Colour is a good thing

and even though I love black and white, it is always nice to come back to colour on a bright day. I was in Zürich today and took a few pics....

At least I was smart enough to grab a roll of b+w on Sunday

before heading into town to shoot some photos. It was a roll of TMax 100 which I like the look of and it made carrying a tripod worthwhile.

A Happy Accident

led to me shooting a roll of colour film last evening instead of black and white. Luckily I realised my mistake before trying to develop it in b+w chemicals! The lab did it quickly today and I am not too unhappy with the results. This will be fun on a bright sunny day.

Seeing the lads tomorrow evening

and it is always fun to catch up with Giorgio, Tomaso and Enzo. If the weather stays reasonable, we might even end up having dinner from the bbq. Nice!
I believe that the answer is always "42".

Shower, shave, dress....

we are off to a wedding shortly- the first time in a while. It should be fun but it is also a shame about the wet weather. Don't think that I will even bother to take a camera with me. If you think that you have seen this boat before, you are very possibly correct. I love it!

I didn't hear too much about riots today

but that doesn't mean that there wasn't any action.
