Thank you for the inspiration

From a lovely Apple Ad, it sums up everything perfectly... Dear Kate, Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing that you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. Take care, John Appleseed Rest in Peace Steve Jobs

Lovely hoppy Artisanal beer in Italy on the bank of Lake Garda in Garda. Just waiting for my Pizza Valtellina, and I can smell it cooking... Hmmm

The Schedoni cases using Kobel pit tanned leather in Navy Blue look really exquisite on the Rolls-Royce stand at the Master Piece exhibition in London

Leitz 400mm f5 from late 1958, attached to a Leica M8 via a Visoflex III, on my first trial to my surprise, despite looking quite battered, the lens proves to be bright, sharp and imperfection free.

Lost... A Man Is Flying In A Hot Air Balloon And Realizes He Is Lost. Lost... A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man below says, "Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees North latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees West longitude." "You must be an engineer," says the balloonist. "I am," replies the man. "How did you know?" "Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost." The man below says, "You must be a manager "I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you are going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault.
