Joe
Had to look up goober in the urban dictionary.
First I mistyped "gobber". Interesting.
Then - which of these meanings is it ? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?defid=554883&term=goober

surely this one:

10. goober 18 up, 33 down

a chocolate covered peanut or a jar of peanut butter and jelly mixed together
when i went to the movies with bob we got goobers after having sex in the seats

Concrete - two great pics, I really like those.

 

[omers]

I always devour jars of peanut butter and jelly mixed together after having sex in the seats at the movies.


Edit - Martin, you're stuck in the middle !

 

[concrete]

cheers martin...hope you didn't get in the way of omers' goober...

More from the Tokyo backlog. Shibuya.

Mamiya 6, 75/3.5, Tri-X @ 3200.

The end is in sight, only 4 more rolls to develop and scan.

Cliff, it looks just like Deptford.

Very nice Pete.

-- Ian

Which part of Deptford have you been to?

 

[sideshowbob]

The bit that looks like HK

There's a new development of a couple of old council high rises on the Thames. I think the developers were aiming at something like the feel of your picture, but they forgot that at ground level, it's still Deptford. And even in the multi-million £££ penthouse you're still in Deptford.

Omer,

Maybe goober has a distinct Canadian meaning, as I've always taken it to mean saliva -- or occasionally that guy from the Andy Griffith Show.

Joe,

That's what I was guessing, anyhow I wouldn't know what all these metal dials and knobs are. On your next visit here...

Omer.

 

[Joe P]

Omer,

Funny thing is that I find manual cameras with their dials and knobs easier to use than modern auto-everything designs.

Only three things need to be adjusted -- aperture, shutter speed and focus -- and there's a dial for each. Easy peasy.

What, no "Link auto-exposure spot point to auto-focus point" dial ?

And ASA/ISO if you want

I think you've almost it. It needs to be expectorated saliva, preferably with some nasal mucous mixed in.

can we rename this picture-a-day so i don't feel so much like i'm flooding?

[mentalp]

Just developed the roll of TriX that's been sitting in the MX for a while.

 

[martin clark]

and this little pig took LSD all the way home..:

(sorry Mullardman)

 

[Rob]

I want to make clear that my postings about the crane shots from Cliff were out of line and if I offended anyone else, my apologies .
No excuse but had a rough week and seem to have wanted it to get it off my chest by making negative comments.

Regards,
Rob.

Very nice Pete, except for the annoying boots sign through the door (i'd clone it out but i'm no purist). I really love the toning on this. I remember you saying you just use a colour scan and mess with the saturation to bring these colours up? I should have a play with that sort of technique.
