Just like last year, we headed to Spain at the end of summer (which was unusually cold back home). This year I somehow managed to misplace some negatives, so I only have a few very ordinary photos to show. Besides a few expired rolls, I mostly shot with shorter lenses this year. On medium format, I used the Nikkor-O f/2.8 50mm, and for 35mm film I shot with the Nikkor f/2.8 28mm and the Nikkor f/1.4 35mm. No fancy modern super-multi-zoom glass — just classic manual legends, a bit younger than I am.
My wife was enjoying a well-deserved break from her demanding job with patients (and no, she’s not a doctor — she really does run around all day, every day, taking care of them).
Our son J4red was goofing around with both of us, but I’m pretty sure his head was still full of melodies and arrangements for all those musicians he composes for. By the way, this year my “little” boy signed a deal with BMG and as an old musician myself, that moment hit me right in the heart — pride, joy, and maybe a bit of nostalgia.
And I, the old grumbler and rebel, occasionally put down either my notebook full of equations or a jug of sangria — and pondered how to challenge my own theory, which still resists all the traps quantum mechanics tries to set with its interpretations.
One thing I’m absolutely certain of by now: two geniuses — Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger — were not wrong.
A pity I couldn’t attend the Copenhagen Conference… quantum mechanics, as we know it today, might never have come to be.
…just so a few scribbles in a notebook could grow into this kind of monster…..
Yours truly,
