geoff b Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 This seems like a good time to sign up. Have been a voyeur - with a 'Lust for Leica' rather than anything carnal - for several months. Finally acquiring a 7 and several pieces of glass with the idea it would be far more convenient to carry on trips rather than the Nikon gear but now find I canﾒt afford to travel! Live in Halifax, Nova Scotia have lived on both coasts. Originally from London (the big one). Look forward to making a few contributions in the future and ﾑmeetingﾒ new friends. Cheers, Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darryl_scanlan Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I'm originally from......everywhere (Army brat, we moved so often my mom said it didn't pay to completely unpack), now I live.......everywhere (environmental biologist, between academic research positions in search of a tenure track, doing on-site contract work for municipal gov'ts and private developers, my wife says it doesn't pay to completely unpack). Just got an M2 and M4 and 6 lenses (21mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 90mm, 135mm)from my Grandfather and have just discovered how shockingly much these are worth. I can't believe he just gave them to me, only because I've been admiring them ever since I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Rowlett Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Anchorage feels a lot colder than Fairbanks even though the temperature is always higher in Anchorage. I'll take -20F in Fairbanks any day over +20F in Anchorage. Now, -40F to -60F is another story! Backups?

EricM Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 No way Graham! Yes, roots are from Court Lane Erdington, and Great Barr, and ah...Handsworth and a bit of The Black Country. Sutton Park was my dad's play ground. Been over half a dozen times as a kid then went back in the late 80/early 90's as teenager and lived and worked a year in a few clubs, The Hummingbird, and a few pubs. Then down to Devon and Cornwall to recoupe. Do you know The Hummingbird? Thinking back, can't believe I got out of there alive...young dumb 6'4" Canuck doesn't go well with some of the E mighty-mights that think yer Irish....Cool, nice staffie too btw.

No comparison with the cold described above, but it's still cold to me! Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham_morriss2 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Bloody hell Eric one of my requests when i die (excuse the morbidity!) is to have a bench next to Bracebridge pool in sutton park and I've spent many a debauched evening in the Hummingbird (now called the academy and is a good live music venue)My parents still live in Sutton and I do get down there as often as I can, it just goes to show what a small world we live in!

graham_morriss2 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Oh yes Eric its all change, haven't been in the greyhound for many years and I believe theres uproar at the moment because a pub company wants to change the name of The Beggars Bush! And most certainly a pint would be in order Best wishes Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
