So why do i keep doing this to myself anyway? :)

Like really... I've already done 4500+ images this year, and I'm going to do it again.  Yep, Europe.

London, Cambridge, Paris, Versailles, for sure.  Maybe Vimy Ridge and Amiens too, haven't pinned down the last few days.  Should be good times.


The only question is: how many cameras to take?  Three or four?    

1. Film SLR
2. dSLR
3. Pocket digi (well, my gf's going to be the one using *that* the most)

4? 1970's Konica

I'm kinda hosed that the Konica busted on me when I took my last shot in the Hermitage.  I took a test film afterwards, at it puts about every fourth shot at risk for wierd-ass defocussing because the film's loose.  If that hadn't happened there'd be no question about four...

To make things interesting, i've got a smattering of BW films  (kodak, ilford) to play with that I picked up in Detroit last month.  Given that I've got a couple potential portrait/model picture sessions in the offing when I get back, I don't know that I want to use them yet.... ah hell, I can always buy more!!


Based on my Russia/Latvia trip from earlier in the year, this will probably add 1200-1500 more shots to the 'have to scan/process' pile.  (yes, that many.... 22 films, mostly 36's, added up to about 600 frames, and three nearly full 2gig chips contribued another 700ish) But what would life be without something that needs doing? *shrug*  At this rate, it isn't outside the realm of possibility of hitting 7500 shots for the year...


Also, if anyone has suggestions RE any of the above, or happens to be in those areas and wants to hook up in the next few weeks, drop me a line here.  

I will ever so gladly take suggestions for stuff that's out of the way, unusual, or overlooked by the touristy masses... aka, the stuff I really like to shoot!
