I got this camera from my mom; she has no idea where it came from, and there is little to no information available about it on the internets, so I thought I’d shoot a roll through it and do up a bit of a review. Continue reading “the Pentax Espio AF Zoom”
Hana and Firas at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens
With apologies to Samie (who I didn’t get a decent picture of), here are a couple of pictures of Hana, and one of Firas from yesterday’s trip to the Botanical Gardens. Continue reading “Hana and Firas at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens”
7/52-53 Zomb-E Gardens
Saturday the 4th (1/4/14… just stuck me…) found me at the Forth Worth Botanical Gardens with Hana, Samie & Firas.
In tow, was the D7000 and Zomb-E, the LX7, the iPhone, and the LC-A* (pictures from first two to follow in the coming days, Insha Allah; shots from the LC-A when I finish the roll and get it developed).
It was a beautiful day for a walk in the gardens, which I hadn’t visited for many many years: mid 60s, slight breeze; cool shade, warm sun. We walked pretty much the whole garden, but everything worth sharing from the Zomb-E-fied D7000 came from the Japanese gardens.
D7000. Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 Zomb-E Series. EXIF in the Lightbox. Minimal processing (mostly) in Lightroom 5.
And with this post, I say farewell to the 7/52 project. All in all, it has been a fun and useful project, though there are a few things that didn’t quite go the way I hoped. For example, I only rarely picked a project and diligently worked on it for a whole week. But Allah Azza wa Jall knows best, and He gave me so much this year that kept me happily distracted from mere photography, so I’ll say Alhamdulillah! The 7/52 is complete. Now on to the projects for 2014: Macro Monday, Black & Wednesday, and Phoneography Friday, InshaAllah.
*It’s only now that I realize I haven’t introduced the new toy, bought late in 2013: the Lomo LC-A (Refurbished). That’ll happen next Sunday, Insha Allah.

7/52-52 Hipstamatic to the Rescue!
The end of the year can be a bit confusing, schedule wise, what with all the days off work and all. Last Sunday, I was enjoying a nice visit with Mom up in Arkansas, then back here on Monday to enjoy two days off with Hana, and then back to work Thursday, Friday, Saturday, so I didn’t make much time for shooting. Continue reading “7/52-52 Hipstamatic to the Rescue!”
