The Nikon F has nothing to seek revenge from; apart from not going on holidays like the Hasselblad. This set apart I am amazed by the last film I got from the lab, well some of it at least.

Back in Toa Payoh to see the chess players and I got this so colorful image.

Home for elderly people in Pashupatinath – Kathmandu – Nepal

This shelter is on the side of the main temple of Pashupatinath on the way to the Ghats where the cremations are held. Not the best picture ever but I like the atmosphere, I regret not to have spent more time there.

Look on the Flickr stream for the picture of the blind man, same place but on the top of the central platform.

Tiger vs Heineken (Penang – Malaysia)

The best part of the game should be to obtain the beer caps to play with ! Tiger is the Singaporean beer that is brewed under license all over South East Asia.

I brought the Leica and a couple of film rolls allong with the D700 in Penang, just did one film though, I’m slow on film this year (roll number 3). I’ll ellabrorate on the subject a bit longer in another post. Good fun to take the Leica out for a small trip, sure the ratio of keepers is higher that on my 500 digital shots.
