Hi all!

I see you have been pretty busy whilst my phone line/modem/puter have been
waging a private revolution against me. I have waded through 2,000+
articles, am now on 2,700 left - I`ve even taken a small jump into the next
millenium (two mails dated yr 2000 and yr 2010 - anyone been in a time
warp?)

The good news, though, is that I have been bitten. Again. My photography
has been cool for quite some time, I have been stressed out with two jobs+
and have felt bogged down in this town. No photo opportunities - I know,
it`s a lie, the only opportunities are the ones I create myself but I`ve
been down and depressed and my poor OM's have been on the shelf for ages.

As I`m chief of security at a medium-sized club, and also the only
"resident photographer" I have had numerous requests for taking pics for
the club, and I`ve dragged my OM-4 down there a few times just to get
_them_ off my back. The 4 has responded as I expected it to, ie boring pics
with no printable images which of course has got me even more depressed. I
really hate having a camera that senses my mood swings sometimes.

Somehow, the 4 got stuck in a shelf in the production office. I don`t know
why, I certainly didn`t plan on leaving it there, it just stayed. And
snapping a few shots here and there was a good way of not working too
hard... plus, there were  few concerts I really wanted to record, as such.

Suddenly I was shooting gigs like I haven`t in years. I didn`t even realise
it, my 4 would suddenly appear in my hand, loaded with TMY or Velvia or
Provia or b/w IR and it was FUN!!! And the pics are getting better! Now,
all I need is a darkroom so I can print - I develop the films in my
bathroom and have some 20 TMY`s or so just waiting to get printed.

BTW - all this talk of camera shows - is there some sort of web page that
lists all shows? In Norway too? Or is anyone here from Norway? *sigh* to be
an OM-lover in a autocameraworld such as Oslo is a drag....

Next year....... will be great!!!!!

Have a Happy New Year all!!!!!!

Siri.
