home again, home again

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

So we're home again. Two flights, three long drives, and two non-trivial train trips in four days. It's a bit much, with an 18-month-old child, but we'll never be here again so why not.

Naturally we wound up sleeping away most of the day.

I notice that I'm getting better at deciding which camera gear to take. This time it was:

-one film SLR body

-three lenses (20mm, 50mm, 85mm)

-my folder full of filters

-a handful of film

-a very small flash

I managed to use almost everything that I brought, and brought almost everything that I would have used (with the possible exception of my small table-top Joby tripod). I shot several rolls of film, and found myself making one old mistake that I've been making with increasing frequency in this sleep-deprived era: not setting the exposure mode back to automatic after using the flash. Rrrrr!
