yea , lustre is often best.
funny about the camera , d’you know what exactly happened ? i’m sure you could get it fixed for less than that, ironically enough, somewhere around chinatown [lots of dirt cheap electro/mechanical geniuses as in a lot of the third world , they work magic with really old electronics (inherently much easier to fix small problems)] there really is very limited professional photography services around the district. did you know there isn’t a single photoshop in DC or MD that buys proper b&w photo paper .. that is honestly ridiculous

professional photoshops are really limited around DC , i’ve actually talked with some friends about starting up a co-op digital [photographic process] printing location around here ; but it’s seemingly more and more likely that i won’t be around for long so it’s not quite worthwhile .. it would have been cool and all [i spent a while researching what’s involved and it’s really quite feasibly if you share rent and finance the LED/laser photo printer itself] , but i know a good place in ottawa for these things so i don’t know if i would do it there either.

.. in other news i’ve found a place somewhere that’ll print metallic b&w paper which will be very good ; i’m also preparing/plotting for a whole lot of ridiculously-large-format prints [i.e finding wallspace and/or worthy recipients] , very much looking forward to them

also , have been sailing (with friends) for the past week .. great stuff although the potomac is without doubt some of the filthiest water in the world , still great fun … hadn’t been sailing in a long while ; also cuba is being postponed to the winter [makes more sense climate-wise] however i will then have the chance to get my egyptian [read:notlegit] scuba license renewed [essentially redo all the training that i never did but should have] before hand]
i had tickets to the eels on tuesday but couldn’t make it , fortunately i found means of transfering them to a friend and he enjoyed the show for me

… and finally [it’s been a while]
