Early march, a few days before Corona officially became serious stuff, it started to get tough to gather public, even for a gifted and outgoing acrobat. if you see him, take a while to watch his show, he's good.

Minolta XD-7 and MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.7, expired Agfa Vista Plus 400 developed with the Rollei C41 kit and digitalized using kit zoom and extension tubes. That XD-7 was one these flea market find you just need to jump on without a second thought. It confused me a bit at the beginning, making me think it was draining batteries at a quick path, but no... it just works perfectly fine. Great little camera, but I still like Pentax better.

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)

I make myself a rule of publishing only pictures I honestly think their subjects would like. However, if you'd rather not see yourself here, let me know (www.flickr.com/people/matthiasrabiller/), and I'll remove the image from my stream. Besides, I might have made pictures of you that you'd like to have but have (not) yet appeared on this page. Maybe I messed up, maybe it's not developped yet... don't hesitate co contact me I'll let you know.

Aus Prinzip veröffentliche ich nur Bilder, wovon ich denke, dass sie ihren Subjekt gefallen würden. Wenn sie ihr Bild jedoch hier nicht sehen möchten können sie mich natürlich anschreiben (www.flickr.com/people/matthiasrabiller/), ich werde dann das Bild schnellstmöglich löschen. Habe ich von ihnen ein Bild gemacht, das sie haben möchten, aber (noch) nicht hier veröffentlicht wurde? Vielleicht habe ich bei diesem Bild auf irgendeiner Weise versagt, vielleicht ist es einfach noch nicht veröffentlicht... schreiben sie mich einfach an, und ich werde ihnen sagen wie es steht, bzw. ihre unveröffentlichte Bilder zukommen lassen.

"Oyfn veg shteyt a boym
Oyfn veg shteyt a boym,
Shteyt er ayngeboygn,
Ale feygl funem boym
Zaynen zikh tsefloygn.

Dray keyn mayrev, dray keyn mizrekh,
Un der resht - keyn dorem,
Un dem boym gelozt aleyn
Hefker far dem shturem.

Zog ikh tsu der mamen: -her,
Zolst mir nor nit shtern,
Vel ikh, mame, eyns un tsvey
Bald a foygl vern...

Ikh vel zitsn oyfn boym
Un vel im farvign
Ibern vinter mit a treyst
Mit a sheynem nign.

Zogt di mame: - nite, kind -
Un zi veynt mit trern -
Vest kholile oyfn boym
Mir far froyrn vern.

Zog ikh: -mame, s'iz a shod
Dayne sheyne oygn
Un eyder vos un eyder ven,
Bin ikh mir a foygl.

Veynt di mame: - ltsik, kroyn,
Ze, um gotes viln,
Nem zikh mit a shalikl,
Kenst zikh nokh farkiln.

Di kaloshn tu zikh on,
S'geyt a sharfer vinter
Un di kutshme nem oykh mit -
Vey iz mir un vind mir...

Tu es on, du shovte,
Oyb du vilst nit zayn keyn gast
Tsvishn ale toyte...

Kh'heyb di fligl, s'iz mir shver,
Tsu fil, tsu fil zakhn,
Hot di mame ongeton
Ir feygele, dem shvakhn.

Kuk ikh troyerik mir arayn
In mayn mames oygn,
S'hot ir libshaft nit gelozt
Vern mir a foygl...

Oyfn veg shteyt a boym,
Shteyt her ayngebogen,
Ale feygl funem boym

On the road stands a tree (Jewish folk song)
On the road stands a tree,
it stands bent and deserted,
All the birds of that tree
have flown away.

Turn toward the west, turn toward the east,
And the rest - turn toward the south,
And the tree is left alone
abandoned to the storm.

I say to momma--"Listen,
If you don't stand in my way,
then, one and two,
I'll quickly become a bird...

I'll sit in the tree
And lull it
during the winter and comfort it
With a lovely tune.

And momma says, "No, child,"
And weeps bitter tears -
G-d forbid, in the tree
you might freeze.

So I say, "Momma, it's a waste
of your lovely eyes,
Because before you know it,
I'll be a bird."

And momma cries: - Itzik, my Crown,
As God would want,
take a scarf with you,
Lest you catch cold.

"Put on your galoshes,
It will be a severe winter.
And take your fur hat, too.
Woe is me!

"And take your warm underwear,
put it on, foolish child,
Lest you become a guest
among the dead...

I lift my wing, but it's hard...
Too much, too many things
Has momma put on
her weak little fledgling.

I look sadly straight forward
into my momma's eyes,
Her love did not allow me
to become a bird...

On the road stands a tree,
it stands bent and deserted,
All the birds of that tree
have flown away.

Another one from the lake of Pannecière. These bare bleached yellow tones just fascinated me. Unfortunately things are a bit intense at work these days, so I get no time to develop the half dozen rolls I made on the last couple of months, or even to go through the pictures I made in the last few weeks. It will get better at some point.
