for some reason, i pretty much felt the same as you about it being uplifting to shoot with px70! not that i usually conceive such elaborate plans as yours before i take a picture, but basically it's been a joy to walk through the streets again with my sx70 (and not that heavy broken 180 of mine) and shoot just what happened to be around. oh, and what i originally meant to say before i read your description was this: this picture is absolutely wonderful.:)

^ Ha ha. Thank you.

That's a very thoughtful response to the film, I think. And this is a very beautiful image with it!

^ Thank you very much. It really did feel different using it. I'm very happy we have it. You know what? I'd challenge anyone to take a picture of this window that DIDN'T look nice.

You are sooooo talkative!!!! :)

^ That's because there is something very boring that I am supposed to be doing.

You are so right about this feeling of infinite ressource, this is a pure relief and i can't wait to see the progress these films will sure make in the future months;
This is a beautiful pic, for all these stories one can make by just watching it.
And the fact that it was taken in Rennes - France (yeaaah France, this much more beautiful country than watertomatoes spain country) gives it all the classic and noble and chic touch you could never reach otherwise.

Did you eat these delightful crepes from La creperie Saint Georges?

^ You know, I looked at the menu of Creperie Saint Georges, but I'd had so many galletes and crepes by that stage that I went to a restaurant instead. But I have to say, the food was fantastic everywhere I went in Brittany. And those unpronounceable flaky pastries they do with the caramel all over - the most sinful pastries ever devised. I'd definitely go there again.

I think the future will be good. The colors are more beautiful that I thought. More so when Andre had told us in NYC that it looked like Spectra Softone.

And it is nice to have that feeling back.

More snappity snaps!

^ Yes, I think this is a much more encouraging starting point than that of the black and white film, and if you think of the progress the PX 100/600 has been making, then the future for colour doesn't look too bad at all. I remember you being terribly perturbed by that Softtone comparison. But when I saw the colour tests in the lab in Enschede, I was relieved.

I also voted because i thought this film was mainly outdoorsy, and this is the proof i'm wrong

^ I had a strong electric light shining on the bed, otherwise the contrast between indoors and outdoors would have been too stark. I think if you make sure everything is brightly lit, it should work fine indoors.

Once i overcame the mental glitch and shocked confusion necessary to understand why someone would go to France instead of spending her holidays eating chopitos, (think about it: France, i mean... France... read it again, please) i voted for this. Because the man looks like a statue of an ancient greek god who someone stole, took the golden spear in his left hand away and put on your bed.

^ God, yeah, you're right about the spear. But as this is France, I suspect the statue was holding a very thin baguette. They had no chopitos in France. I often said, as I was walking down the street, "Where are all the chopitos? Don't they even know what they are?". But they do a nice calf brain there, you know.

^ Oh, I say! You can't use words like that on here, you know. There could be ladies reading.

simply beautiful.
and if there was no idea or story behind at first, there still might be one which urges one unconsciously to take a polaroid of.

^ Thank you. I liked this window so much, with the old French buildings outside. I used it on all kinds of different shots and films. I think that as long as you can see a person with a certain expression or body language in a shot, then you do start to build a simple story around them - at least, I think most people do, according to their own mood and view of the world, (He's alone/He's not alone/Someone has just left/Someone is about to arrive/He's dreaming of the future/He's haunted by the past) It actually fascinates me how an ambiguous image can work like an inkblot test. For my part, my only thoughts here were "This is a beautiful window" and "Can you just lie down in the light on the bed?".
