B O F A S T B L I S S

Sunday salute from the Barber house. Just got in from a zip around the city. Nothing beats a full tank and a list of errands to run. Cool air makes for good performance. Quick-time knock-off. Watered three sister's gardens and picked up a roll from the lab featuring the recent greenhouse wedding of Sam & Tristan with a couple of Top Dead Moped double exposures thrown in. Run out of film? Shoot over.

Before the wedding, I ducked over to the MCC thrift shop in Steinbach, MB. I always find some treasure there and last Saturday was no exception. An Olympus Sport 35 fixed lens rangefinder lying belly up caught my eye. Five dollars? Sweet. Nice little tank of a pocket camera from the early sixties. Meter is surprisingly accurate and the original battery still works! Miracle and perfect addition to the old stable. Here is some fruit of labor. Loads of characters illuminated by the party flash!
