Trying out the new camera on Canada Day...

My new Epson R-D1S digital rangefinder camera arrived in the mail the other day. I got around to trying it out as the Canada Day festivities were winding down. I slept through the day after failing to catch a bus down to the Forks so that I could catch a few of the good bands that were going to be a part of the festivities. Go figure; a sparse holiday bus schedule pared with a holiday where thousands of people choose to bus downtown. Genius. But I did get to try my Voigtlander 35mm 1.5 Nokton lens on the R-D1S and I'm pleased with my researched decision in acquiring a new setup. Nothing too special; just me putting around.


Why don't you just name your business Burning White Jetstream or Jizz'n'Jugz? I wonder what it takes to become a fluid expert.


Mr Lube is also into exhibitionism.


I think this is my favorite shot from the evening. Nothing profound; I just think the composition turned out alright. There were hardly any people walking around outside; mostly traffic which is typical for a cultureless, community-deprived, ultra gas-dependent, sprawled-out shithole of a city like Winnipeg. I want to start catching people on the street but I think I'll start off in the daytime and in more heavily-trafficked areas.




This place caught my interest. I guess I find stores selling stuff that most people have no desire for for its outdated/uselessness intriguing. Right below the tattoo studio I go to.




Double suicide? It's better than blowing your head off alone. Mutant manic-depressive Maytag repairmen.


Bor-ing. Yeah, but I'm just fooling around. I can't wait until I start getting a feel for this camera and using a manual fixed lens. Wanna try nailing some walk-by-you shots.


If only it were that easy.
