Wow! Simply wow!

The Henri Cartier Bresson exhibition in Paris was fantastic. We had a couple of terrific days- great pictures, good food and plenty of laughs. I could gladly do it again.

Went along to the World Press Photo Exhibition in Zürich last evening- it was a fantastic show as well. Saw plenty of great images and caught up with a bunch of friends. Should do that sort of thing more often!

The usual Saturday running around today and then dinner at Chez Boesch- will be lots of fun.

The swim can wait until tomorrow

but I am up and about and will be heading off to a meeting shortly. It will be good to get back into the swimming habit again and I should have a little time to get stuck in during the quieter times in the pool. It is certainly no fun trying to swim in heavy traffic when you are struggling.

Shot a roll of 120 film yesterday and I was very impressed with the way the Ilford HP5+ turned out. Looking forward to doing more research as long as the sun is shining.

Dinner tonight. Will be fun!

The pasta was good, the company was absent

but the wine was magnificent. Saturday nights home alone are not such a bad thing, after all! My negatives should be dry by now and will be scanned tomorrow and if the weather plays along in the morning, we will try to get out for a walk and some fresh air.

Tune of the Day:  Plant White Roses  by Kelly Hogan

The snow is almost gone down here

but I guess that they have had some more up in the hills. Warm and wet is not much fun after the cold, wintry days of last week.
Catherine excelled herself in the kitchen again last night and we all enjoyed a great salad with duck confit followed by pizzas with beetroot, goat's cheese, parmesan, mozzarella, tomato sauce, duck confit (again!) and a few salad leaves. Fantastic!


Tune of the Day: Time   by Pink Floyd

I have been enjoying my week of photography

and like most things that one does, a little practice makes things easier, quicker and better. Looking forward to lunch with the lads today- if the last couple of adventures are anything to go by, this one should be full-contact.
Tomorrow we will just need to sort the duck and the beetroot....

Now that Monday is behind me, it is all about

the few days off. I'm pretty happy with my first couple of shots for this year's Week 50 Challenge and I'm looking forward to making the next 5. Shooting film is a lot of fun and it is even more fun doing it with this big, old camera.


Tune of the Day:  California über Alles   by The Dead Kennedys

In the office tomorrow and then a few days off

and I am really looking forward to that. Appears as if it is going to be cold- that is not a big problem in itself, but it does make photography more difficult. I might even consider heading to the hills.
