A little blue cattle dog.

Pink and I decided to get Logan company so he doesn’t get bored when we are away. Logan’s father just sired another litter. Our requirement was a little blue dog with 2 different color eyes like Logan – well, they have one blue merle but not too sure about the eye color yet. I’m sure glad tax return will be here. Here’s his 12 day picture…

Regardless, I think we’ll be taking him home next month but we gotta’ think of a good name for this cattle dog, “Stain” just won’t cut it – no offense ‘B’. Any suggestions?

Camera gear is allergic to the floor.

Dropped the 5D on the floor tonight whilst the 70-200 F4L lens still attached. Freaking Arca plate!!! The 5D seems to be fine, but now the lens is hard to manually focus and it seems to be back focusing too. Looks like I’ll be heading to Canon Irvine for repairs this week. I’m looking for a silver lining in all this but it’s hard when I have to spend money for repair. Well, the 5D needs a sensor cleaning anyway.

Belly button photography

Just recently acquired a Rollieflex TLR at the camera show to play around with. Not a Xenotar or Planar lens, just your old standard CZJ Tessar 75mm F/3.5 type. Rollei Club says its a 1937 – 1939, Pre-WWII Rolleiflex Automat 6×6 – Model RF 111A. I don’t expect it to be sharp wide open or perform well with color film since it’s more likely un-coated, but it’s good ’nuff for black and white. I hope to get some good snaps from it and post it in the gallery soon.
