Fuji XE-1 envy

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2012.11.13

I walked to the camera store where I normally develop my film, to drop off a roll. At the counter, I noticed that the fellow on my right was buying the Fuji XE-1 I've been drooling over for the past six months. "Nice," I told him, "you're very lucky."

Turning back to the fellow filling in the details on my film, I noticed that the woman to my left was also. Buying. The same. Camera.

(Note to self, buy beer on the way home. For sobbing into.)

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
