The First [Unofficial] Day of Winter Holidays

The first day of winter shoot week feels like the first day of winter holidays. No more getting up before the sun, no more surprise assignments, no more "dressing for the weather" for the off chance that we will be outside shooting a surprise assignment all afternoon. Today started off wonderfully. An alarm going off at 8:00 instead of 6:30, lazily sipping a couple cups of coffee, and casually checking things off the to-do list.

While taking a mini internet break after checking one thing off the list [Don's for handfuls of film and a 50mm 1.8 - yes, my life is pretty good], I found this on one of the design blogs I read daily...




Now that we all have one or two [or four] rolls of slide film, this back lit slide display might come in handy. If anyone feels like spending £150 [to display 36 slides], check it out here.

wow, that's so cool! So that's like 320 CAD? Might be worth it. Seeing slides lit up is one of the most exciting things for a photographer. The colours, the sharpness, the brilliance.... oooooh... (as I'm staring at a computer monitor)

By the way, enjoy your shoot week. Lazily sipping coffee and acquiring a 1.8 lens ranks high on my fun list. Did you read my latest blog post, an ode to my 50mm 1.8? :)
