One thing I love about moving is how it forces you to look at everything you own in totally different ways, and things that wouldn't normally come into the same frame do. Futura designed these absolutely slicktastic dunks for Nike back in 2004, and Pentax made this camera back in the late 1960s. I think they really look beautiful together. Lately I have been loving the pairing of pink (and some neon primaries) with chrome. Some of my more recent design work has been following that vein, only with lots of really fun textures.
I love this camera, and shooting without a working light meter brings an interesting challenge. Estimating the exposure times adds the element of surprise to everything I shoot with it.

Could not agree with that first statement more. Moving is such a strange experience. It's lots of work and can be frustrating, but it really gives you a new perspective on both your life and your stuff.
I really enjoy your blog - keep it up!
Thanks for reading and commenting. I feel like my life since going back to college has been a series of moves, and each one involved sacrificing more stuff. Having moved nine times since I started college as a freshmen I think I have shrunk my stuff down to just the things I need and love. I feel connected to everything I own now, but I miss the stability and security that comes with having a home full of stuff.
What's a dunk? Maybe from slamdunk, which is a word I think comes from basketball - which makes the Unkle a shoe for basketball. This is guesswork from a non-American.
I like the shot with the camera and the dunk. The squishiness curves of the leather, the shiny rings on the strap, the precision of the camera. And some kind of overlay (blur maybe) and desaturation. Very nice indeed - makes a very involving shot. Looking for the right adjective and as near as my brain can get at the moment is 'involving'
