Surgery ok, yeah

First and foremost my daughter's surgery went 100% well. It will take about a month for here to get her eyesight back 100%. Otherwise I had a great trip, took about 14 rolls with the Zeiss ( yeah, I can keep it!!).
Good some great shots. Here is my day on a car ferry on Long Island Sound.


Also spent some time in the Hamptons and also the Berkshire Mts (where my daughter lives).

This is gonna cost a lot of money

My daughter has no insurance. She just got her Master's in Teaching at UMASS this spring and has been out looking for a teacher's job. So no health insurance. Seems like I might have to sell something to raise money.
I'd like to sell my:

Zeiss Ikon Silver ZM
Zeiss C Sonnar 50mm F1.5
Zeiss 43mm MRC UV filter
Zeiss Sidegrip

To see the rig scroll down towards the bottom of my blog. Paid about $2100 for the lot on July 9, 2007. Hell I think I ran 5 or 6 rolls thru it. What a sweet ride. But I have to help my daughter out. I will accept $1850 paypal to: kshapero@yahoo.com.
Here is the invoice for the body and lens only. (Double click invoice to read)

Daughter's Surgery is this Thursday

So we wait. So to cheer myself up I offer a photo of my grandson.

What a bummer

My daughter, age 27, was just told she has a detached retina in her eye. All my plans could change. She is very young to have this and it popped up, out of nowhere. Please pray for her speedy recovery.

one more shot

Didn't go to Naples after all.

Some first shots from my new Zeiss Ikon with C Sonnar 50 f1.5. All shots are wide open.

Some of my gear

The beautiful Zeiss Ikon with a C Sonnar 50mm f1.5.

This is a sweet as it gets for a film rangefinder.

First Post

Yesterday we went down to the beach. I did not bring a bathing suit and it was too crowded anyway. Plus it was about 100 f. Just too hot.
Shoot taken with a Pentax Optio 750z. Today I am off to Naples, FL for a business meeting.
