Today in Paradise, I...

I had a coworker take my photo with my vintage Olympus 35-S II (branded Tower, sold by Sears) G. Zuiko 42mm f1.8. Taken at f2.0 @ 1/60.

Just didn't feel like working right at that moment. Ever have a day like that? I've had decades.

Best Regards,

Bill Mattocks

Great shot

Yeah, but then he looked at the back in confusion and asked me where the 'preview' button was.

Was the yellow tape for a bad section on the pathway, or maybe a crime scene, I wonder? It does lend an unusual element to the outdoorsy scene!

I had a friend who during university years was collecting these (all)kind of tapes. Building sites, crime scenes, whatever. Once he did it in Serbia as well (early nineties) and we almost got busted. An old couple came out from a neighboring house and started screaming -of course we did not understand anything of it and then a cop appeared at the far end of the street. So we ran away but he was still dragging the 8-10 meter long red tape after him
