Wednesday
The Klas Törnblom was close to perfect today after 50 (yes, 50) laps on the Shapton 16k. Probably a little extreme, but I felt it needed it considering the hardness of the Swedish steel. The last 15 were really, really light. I tried holding the stone in my hand but I just can’t get the razor to glide evenly over the stone without the assistance of the other hand. The Body Shop Macca root was, as always, excellent and the scent, as always, lingered throughout the day, even with the AS over the top.
Pictured with one of my favourite cameras, the Agfa Record II 6x9 Medium Format, not to USE (that’s the ’53 Rolleicord) but to LOOK at. With the Agfa one needs to guess the distance and use ‘zone’ focusing. It also needs a hood to cut out lens flare and increase contrast. I’m thinking about getting into photography again, which was my obsession before this current obsession...
Cuff links of the day were 1940's Celluloid Basset Hound.

[QUOTE=tumtatty;873505]Beautiful Fall day here in NC. The leaves are at the peak of their color, or just past it.
A beautiful taken landscape, you could not improve the composition if you tried, those colours are magic, nature is truly the greatest Artist.
