A is for August

So here we are, at the beginning of the last month of the summer. Mercury is already easing down to tell us the end if near. Last week I decided to replace the old and not-efficiently-working air conditioner. The day I put in deposit for the replacement turned out to be the last day of heatwave. The new unit was installed yesterday and it's so fabulous I'm very happy with my purchase. Another happy purchase this week was Wolverine 35mm film scanner. Since I wasn't able to use my old film scanner which was of much better quality but seriously painfully dreadfully slow on this new computer, I couldn't scan some of my b/w negatives. Last night I've done four rolls in about half an hour and I just loved it. Like Taiyo would say, quite often these days, "I love it! I loooovvve it!" Details b/w can capture is simply incredible, and I still shoot 35mm film and develop them in my kitchen late at night. So thanks to my new little super gadget(it's just a little box!), I found some old pictures from last year, like the one above at the Aquarium in Coney Island, and we were there a week before Sandy. It was somewhat eerie to see these pictures because of the time significance. We haven't gone back there since. This will be on the top of the list of things to do before the summer ends.
