New York RFF Hits NYC June 28

[Scarpia]

Joe, keep in mind this is NYC. You could walk naked down the street (please don't) and not be noticed. An external viewfinder will be next to invisible.

damn, ya know, i only did it once and they're STILL talking about it.
of course i was younger and about 70 pounds lighter!
lol!

ok, i guess i have been away too long and now i'm thinking like a hick tourist.
(no offence meant to hicks anywhere😉)

deep breath, rethink...be back soon...

joe

 

[Scarpia]

Was that you???

[ScottS]

Well, since I'll be in NYC most of next week for work and I will be able to take the afternoon off, it looks like I'll be there too.

Scott

 

[back alley]

very good.

make sure you email rover with a cell number.

rover, how many have made contact so far?

joe

 

[back alley]

so i packed my m classic bag...
loaded in a p along with the iv sb.

35/2 on the p & 50/1.9 collapsible on the iv sb.
28 w/ finder jammed into a lens case and the 100 in a lens pouch.

15 rolls of tri-x in a front pocket. pilot 2 in another.
leaving one pocket empty for cell phone etc.

having second thoughts about the 50.
maybe the 28 on the iv sb, 100 in a side pocket.

2 cams & 3 lenses...?

joe

 

[FrankS]

No 50? How could you go without a 50? I'd be hard-pressed to bring only 1 50mm lens.

 

[back alley]

yes, but only you & rover would have that particular problem.

i could easily live without a 50, did so for years actually.

my last foray into 35mm was 28/40/90 and i lived quite happily.

Man, that is just stranger than a clockwork orange!



(No offense, I just wanted to use that line, modified a bit) 🙂

 

[back alley]

the biggest difference between a 50 & a 35 is a couple of steps.

i don't mind getting a bit closer.

 

[rover]

I'm starting to count the hours...phone # sent, Rover.
See ya next week!
Rob

Rob, I never got your number....

rmeliso@gmail.com

i think we have 5 with Rob, Kurt and Scott...

I have to go check my emails now....

 

[back alley]

ok, time to get serious.

i took the 50 out of the bag.

as it now stands we have a p with 35/2 - a ivsb with 28/3.5 + finder and a 100/3.5 rolling round on the bottom of the bag.
still have 15 rolls of tri-x.

[FrankS]

Don't do it, Joe! TAke the 50! How much room does it take? How heavy is it? (Or are you planning on buying a Summar there?)

 

[back alley]

i'm worried about too many choices.

i believe i work better with less.

joe

 

[rover]

I will have a 50 if you need one. 🙂

 

[rover]

Bumpty...

We still have room for, oh, everyone else I guess if you can make it. New York is a big city.

 

[back alley]

yes, please DO come if you can!

i hear rover's buying lunch...🙂

but seriously folks...the more the merrier.

2 more sleeps for me and then i'll be in america!!
the land of real canollis and pastrami and bagels and street pretzles and kosher franks...oh yeah...and the last 2 generations of family.

joe

 

[rover]

Hmmm, I was wondering what a Canadianized NY accent would sound like. I don't know if I will get to hear it with all that food in your mouth Joe. I am in for the pastrami and canolli though.

 

[back alley]

my accent has been pretty much wiped clean i think.
although there are some here who claim to be able to hear it at times. i am told it comes out when i'm angry...and i'll do my best not to speak with a mouthful.

one more sleep...
