I lost my 公公's Yashica A last year.

I miss it so, but Marian and Dave generously lent me their Rolleis this year;

and I got to play with a Hasselblad too.

But I've been preoccupied with the mechanical and alchemical photomaking processes,

and neglected the scanning process...

I arrived in Berlin recently and the autumn landscape reminded me of Northern China,

where I lived briefly six years ago. Coincidentally, I'd moved there at around this time of year and season.

So I dug up the above photos-
