So my birthday was the other night and I spent that time either at work or trying my hand at some photography in the park with a bunch of strobes. Oddly enough I was happy with the day and night, despite being alone for my big 43 years on this planet.
What is wrong with me?
I've generally not been enjoying being alone a new city as a whole, but their are still too many times that I still prefer to be alone is why I ask.
On another note and another complaint of sorts. I tend be able to paruze the craiglist photo section and found myself very lucky to have quickly found a deal. A 70's era 50mm Summericron (f2.0) collapsible lens for $300. After not hearing back about it yesterday, I gave up on the score, but this morning I got an email back from the person selling it saying it was still for sale. Of course he wanted $400 for it now, so I offered $350 in cash. He emailed back to say OK. The down at this point was that he lives outside of SF, so I'd have to wait till after work to go home and pick my car and drive out to his place. I could smell disaster since no deal is complete till money is exchanged and the product is in your hand and of course at 5pm I got an email saying he sold it for $450 to someone who called him and made him take the extra $100. Thanks buddy, thanks for wasting my time. At least he didn't tell me once I showed up with cash in hand. Ugh.
Other then that, life is fine. My last rowing lesson is tomorrow and i'm looking forward to having my instructor (whoes my mom's age) out paddle me backwards for an hour!
