More Autumn Goodness
Because the leaves on the trees don’t fall as readily where I live, I instead just look for photographs of the same thing instead. They always said I was bright.

As is turning into something of a theme for Saturdays — a coffee shot. But this is no ordinary coffee shot, because it’s a damned fine coffee splash shot. I think it’s time I got some freshly grinded beans and made the most of the coffee machine at my new place.
I trust you’ll check out the full set, but I’ll have you know that my coffee cravings right now are at an all time high. 6:30AM starts do that to you.
Okay, okay, I’ll stop with the puns. But when I shot this, I shot it with black-and-white in mind from the start.
John Gruber of Daring Fireball fames sums up why I love this movie so well:
The second film in the series (after Dr. No). I watched it last night for the first time in a long while. So, so good. Low on the cockamamie; high on style and lovely details, including beautiful on-location footage of early-60s Istanbul. The plot revolves around a Russian code machine and a possible defector (who is, of course, a hot chick), not a preposterous plot to destroy the Earth or all of Western civilization.
Not just quintessential James Bond, but maybe the best Bond — funny, not corny, a spy movie, not an action movie.
PS: My favorite is still “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”.
Aiming to pick one of these [a Canon AE-1] up off eBay before I head away for a while — with an FD-mount 50mm f/1.4 & a few rolls of Velvia.
