More Furniture Shifting

I have moved my photo blog off of the Blogger platform and into WordPress. I'm leaving these posts up (though they are all duplicated on the new platform) because y'all keep coming here through search results (for which I'm very grateful!).

The new home of my photoblog is Victoria Klum Photography: Fresh Pixels. See you there!

Ole's Waffles, 4th of July

Shot with a Nikon F2 on Kodak TMAX 400 film.

Gear Geek: O Noes!

It seems a trip to casualty Apollo Camera in Oakland is in order. I pulled my beloved Pentax MX from my camera bag this evening, wanting to get this interesting shot of a seagull at the Ferry Building, only to find that the shutter mechanism felt very loose, like a tooth about to come out. I was able to fire the shutter but when I got it home the shutter came off completely.

So the whole camera is in a plastic zip bag waiting until I can take it over to Apollo in the next couple of days.

I realize that, in the grand scheme of things, a broken camera shutter is not such a horrible thing, but if you know me, you know how much I love this camera. Max has been my workhorse, my go-to guy. Those redscale film shots I've posted recently? Those were run through Max. I was just 4 shots into a roll of the new Kodak Ektar 100 film (which has now been safely retrieved from the camera, though I accidentally re-wound the film into the canister so I need a retriever gizmo...).

Fingers crossed that the shutter can be repaired or replaced.
