I am still a youngster even if I just had my 903rd birthday as a time traveling jedi. This time we celebrated in Perth, Australia, a slightly less epic setting than then 902 and 901 birthdays. But the setting is not important, all that matters is spending the day with the love of my life and I had some magic birthday days orchestrated by Charlene. The days also included Charlene and I giving a 2 hour Fujifilm X-series Showcase talk at Camera Electronic in Perth. As usual we shot a lot of silly pictures of each other, and here are a few of mine and a lot of Charlene’s wonderful black and white shots of this time traveling hipster on his birthday.

Trying to focus with old eyes…but good hair at least
Cake! Wonderful birthday cake!
Birthday boy laughing as the awesome Moon cafe uses old LP covers as menus, making him feel right at home.

And a few of my images:

Pure. Magic. Awesomeness. Love.
Finally, the poster for our Gypsy Magic show – might be coming to a town near you soon!

Happy birthday you old Jedi! 🙂
Thank you Mark!
I’m digging that beat up lens hood that Charlene has…reminds me of the early 90s when I was shooting Nikon manual primes with beat up metal lens hoods. Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY too 😉
Craig,
It’s been through a lot, that lens, and the battle-scarred X-Pro 1 it was attached to when it got all of those. Bigger pictures of said battle scars here: http://charlenewinfred.com/2014/02/23/a-camera-build-to-endure-klutzes-the-fuji-x-pro-1/
Thanks Craig, the X-pro1 that the lens was attached to is in about the same shape 🙂
Tillykke! 🙂
Tak for sidst, det var et fint arrangement i Zoo og hyggeligt at få hilst på dig, håber at du/I lægger vejen forbi Kbh/DK med jeres roadshow!?
Høj sol og forårshilsner
