Re: PESO - Second Chance
I fell when shooting the dream cruise last August. Busted up the hood, but the lens was still working fine, so I didn’t think much of it and replaced the hood. Used it quite a bit after that with no problems. Then just this past March, it kind of just fell apart. The zoom jammed and the focus motor quit. Sent it to CRIS, and they said it had obviously taken a hit on the front of the lens that had broken an internal part of the barrel, which knocked out the motor. I suspect whatever piece finally broke had been damaged in the fall but hung on for a while. Tested the repaired lens today and it’s perfect in terms of flat field.

Re: We're on the Road
Hi Ann: The Twain house today was fantastic, though no interior photography was allowed. Bummer. We bought some postcards showing the interior, but I'm a little disappointed with the quality of the photography for the interior rooms. The Harriet Beecher Stowe house is next door to Twain's and that was a lovely tour as well. Same problem there--no indoor photography allowed. Had such a great day seeing Twain's house. I feel so inspired, and it's even a sweeter feeling knowing the last two years are truly behind me.

Re: PESO: Track Lighting
Quoting "Daniel J. Matyola" : http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17781396 Comments are invited. As others have commented, it's a great scene but the cars are distracting. I don't think the cropped image works because it loses too much of the platform (as you mentioned yourself). I think this is one of those scenes where a perfect photo probably wasn't possible at the time you were there. -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO: Track Lighting
That is the Somerville, New Jersey Station, Ann, which has recently been renovated quite a bit. I think perhaps those lamps were installed by New Jersey Transit, and they may use them at other newly renovated stations. The big news is that this trip to The City was the first "one seat" trip for us. usually, we have to change at Newark, because the Raritan Valley line is Diesel, and only electric trains can use the tunnel under the Hudson. RV acquired several dual powered locomotives, and now is capable of going all the way to Penn Station in The City, but that station does not have enough platform space to accommodate our trains during peak travel hours. In this instance, we took a train after 9:00 AM, so it was allowed to take us into Manhattan. What a difference it makes, because when we change trains at Newark, we usually have to board a train that already has standing room only, and it is a hot, crowded, bumpy and unpleasant end to the journey.

Re: PESO: Waiting
I previously posted a version of the banana peel image as a seperate PESO, captioned "Apeeling." I guess you missed it. Most of the images in that folder are straight out of the camera, and not meant to public viewing. The images in Sardi's show that I ate in front of Samuel L Jackson's image, only to run into him, two rows in front of us, at "Raisin in the Sun." His wife is one of the stars of the show, and has been nominated for a Tony. I don't really understand what you mean by "going off the screen." Does that mean they are too large for your screen and you can't see the entire image, or does it mean they are disappearing?

well, Fog City is a bit more flamboyant than the Summit Diner, but then again, it's if Frisco.

This building was the Whitehouse Diner, quite a popular establishment in its day. Legend has it that, decades ago, the owner had an argument with a patron, lost his temper, grabbed a cleaver and chased everyone out of what had been a packed diner. He locked it up, and never returned, and it has been in a state of decay ever since. Its condition has gotten a lot worse over the severe weather of this past winter, This is my original blog post about this structure: http://djmatyola.com/lbdinerdan/the-abandoned-whitehouse-diner A few years back, the sign was in good enough shape that I used it as the symbol for my dine blog: http://djmatyola.com/lbdinerdan/exploring-diners Thanks for looking and commenting, Igor.
