Notes from 8th Nov 2003
[posted at 11:00 GMT]    

Today, next interesting day. I have got quite a few useful comments about my last week portrait 20min shooting. And also very nice discussion with C.S. about what should I do to go further. It was nice morning.
As you maybe now I have got quite interested about old Olympus OM system, lately. Friday I drow to T. with intention to buy OM-2 + 50mm lens, but after while we both find out that Auto mode was broken. Today my coleague offer me his old OM-2n with bunch of lenses. Camera looks working properly and lenses (28/35/50) are in great shape so I think after I test it on one roll I will buy it. OM system SLRs are very small, nice simple robust cameras. Even over 20 years old, they still having something what other do not have.
I also bring you next picture from France. Exposed on Ilford HP5+ (I am starting to like that film more and more) and developed in IL29. This shot of megalite have realy some kind of secret feeling. At least to me. I'll try to print both photos from France this week.

We were searching for them while beeing in France. We were unpatient to see some. First we had one on map and try to locate it. Even we went to somebody backyard we failed. Some other day we missed them first. After they told us where to turn we found them, not one, but whole fileds all of them nicely in rows.
