film fixin’
i have to be quick today; my beloved laptop has broken down and i can only access the world wild web briefly. yes, my nearly brand new mac just didn’t want to rev up this morning. it doesn’t look good at all.
here are some shots i took while waiting at the cobbler the other week, when getting other beloved things fixed. my cobbler is old skool; he lines up all the shoes he fixing on shelves behind the register {which always seems to be covered} and on the floor in methodical rows. he hands out those pink tickets you see in the second photograph and then sends you on your way for a week until he does his thing. the services isn’t speedy, but you can guarantee a job well done when you come back and exchange the pink ticket for your repaired shoes.
Beautiful photos. Film is really something special.

I probably won’t want to give the pink ticket back. Sorry about the laptop, macs have famously short lifespans.

oh no, what’s up with your Mac? i had a few troubles with mine recently but thank goodness he’s ok again. i really need to get some more RAM though, poor thing really struggles with all my phootshopping etc!

I’m sorry to hear about your laptop! I’m a PC girl thinking about swapping to Macs. Would you still recommend it, after having your problems?

astrid, i agree. i’ll definitely be travelling with my slr this time around.
tommy, hehehe, me neither. the mac is on the road to recovery, but it’s still a mystery.
thank you jen!
lindsey clare, i think it was a battery failure, but the whirring sound made me think it was the hard drive. at this stage i don’t know as i can only take it to the techies next week. fingers crossed!
sue, i’ll always be a mac fan. i think the thing the boy finds annoying is that he was unable to pull it apart to see what was wrong; and in a way i’m glad, as i wont speak of the computer parts in boxes in his parent’s garage! ;)
