I still have them. The first is the A70, the second is the S5 IS. I currently use a Rebel T5 EOS, including for this picture. I'd need to check if my stockpile of rechargeable batteries is still up to the challenge of supporting them.

Additional note: I used Air Miles to get that T5. Took me only ten years, I think!

Hey, [personal profile] rfmcdonald, didn't you take a pic of a giant mockup of the older camera once?

During the current round of culling going on at my place, I rediscovered this ribbon from twenty years ago. I think I was one of three people who was editing the Ottawa SF Society Statement newsletter that year...and there's the confirmation:

Me, Joel Polowin - AKA [personal profile] bunsen_h - and the late and still-beloved Sharon Fall co-owned that nomination for Fan Achievement (Organizational).

Between the hip joint pain - I'm calling it that until my doctor(s) tell me otherwise - and getting used to the new mask - this one nose-and-mouth - and the other ongoing stresses, last night was somewhat more fraught. I think I'd almost gotten used to having the machine wake me up whenever I'd started mouth-breathing instead of nose-breathing. More incidents per hour than the average of the previous week - 3.5/hour as opposed to 0.5 - but better than the 80+/hour at the sleep clinic overnight test back in February.

Sitting posture's always been difficult to maintain, and now I think that lack of maintenance is something else I'm paying for.

Found a bunch of books I'd lost interest in and planned to yard-sale away whenever I could. Early Wild Cards books. A couple of DC graphic novels (JLA: A League of One and GL: Fear Itself), and community college textbooks dating back over thirty years. Also, my grad ring from my badly-endured and now non-existent high school. I can't remember what it cost my parents to pay for it, but it's a mixed blessing to still have it in hand. High school was Not Fun. What I managed to learn was in spite of a number of my classmates, and some of the staff were kinder than others.

I'm sure that I took more photos of the inside of Patty Boland's Pub than I have on file on my computer.

The reason why it bothers me that I can't find them: Patty's - a hangout of mine because it was the meeting site of ByMUG from its founding in 2006 until we moved over to Shares last year in 2018 - is shutting down. Their lease is up, and the new management hasn't had an easy time of it. There's more to the story than I know, surely, but I can't chase it down right now. Our founder and leader, Tom Leroux, asked me to dig up what pix I can find that I took of several of our earlier meetings at Patty's. Been trying for the last hour or so to carry out that task. It looks like I took fewer images than either Tom or I remember.

There's one dating back to 2006, and it looks...corrupted with unwanted linework. I took it back when I used a Canon A70. And I can't seem to find many more of them. Frustrating.

I've been trying to make a point of attending the Labour Day parades in Ottawa over the last decade or so. These photos were from the 2013 edition. Sharing them "off-season", admittedly. So what?

I'm afraid this is going to be an occasional series of posts with a common topic: making room for new stuff in the library/studio here in the basement. I need the space, badly!
