Another Camera

A couple of weeks ago I got another camera.  This one is an Olympus EP-L1 (of course, this is now an "older model"!) which is one of those Micro 4/3 format cameras.  One of the things I wanted to do with this one was use old 35mm manual lenses (by using an adapter).  

These are some of the pics I've taken in the last few weeks.  For most of them, I used a 50mm 2.0 f Sears K-mount lens(which I can use with my Pentax cameras).  It's fun to get back to manually focusing (though I've had a few more "I thought it came out good, but then when I downloaded it to the PC..." moments)

For this one, I used a 135mm 2.5 f lens

Hey, it turns out that this camera can even take pictures of people!

I noticed this fellow's interesting looking camera (a Rolleiflex).  Turns out the guy is a professional photographer, by the name of Peter Hoffman;  you can see his stuff at:  http://peterhoffmanphoto.com/ 

Here's my pal Rob. This pic was taken while enjoying lunch at Giordano's

Quite unexpectedly on my way to the Metra station after work, I crossed paths with Jeremy, The Magician From Britain

Some random people pics

Critters and More

Starting out with some critters I saw in the last few days

I was in the Ravenswood Manor area on Sunday, and took these pics:

Downtown;  The Bat Column

Back to my neighborhood, Rogers Park for some rust and an old shoe.

New From Old Town

On the way to work the other day, ran into Charlie

On 8/14 went to Old Town and walked through Bucktown and perhaps Lincoln Park (hard to tell exactly where one starts and the other ends).

Nice to know we've still got some nice industrial grunge within the City
