Err 99

IMG_5318a

This morning I woke up ready for a bike ride and leisurely neighborhood shoot and much to my chagrin I found that my trusty 1D mark III was feeling quite under the weather. She’s got the dreaded “Err 99.” FUCK.

Well, I called Canon and it looks like they’ll need to take a hands-on look at her. It’ll take 2 weeks to check out and repair. SHIT. :-(

So now I’ve only got the film minolta (I found batteries for the meter! but still need to buy some film) and a 20D my buddy lent me earlier this summer, so expect the number of awesome 1.3x35mm crop /10.1 MP /10fps images to decrease dramatically in the next few weeks (although its not like I’ve been posting more than once a week this summer. Commuting consumes me). At least she will hopefully get back to me in time for my trip to New York. I’ve also started toying with the idea of trading her in for a 5D mark II once she’s fixed (which was ultimately the plan after I’m done with school). I’m not quite sure how I feel about that though.

In Like A Lion

Summer is finally starting to peek its beautiful face around here with temps in the 80’s, so Zotz and I decided to wander around the quads yesterday.

My TA for Basic Photo (ARTS 260) once anecdote’d to the class about how fledgling photogs on campus typically gravitate towards three things: bikes, squirrels, and trees. This is an ode to fledgling photogs on campus.

…and here’s a panoramic shot of the quad because panoramas are the cool thing to do these days (click for larger version).
