* Eyes: Favorite Photos from Recent Travel

* Swift Industries Roll-Top Panniers

I’m extremely excited about the most recent accessories I have purchased for my bike, a set of panniers. These beauties were handmade by a front-room operation here in Seattle called Swift Industries. I first came across these when I was looking for patterns to make some Panniers for myself, and I have been jonesin’ after them for quite some time now. Thanks to some saved up Christmas gift money, I was finally able to put in an order. Since they are hand-made to order, it took about three weeks for me to get them, and it was completely worth the wait.

The second camera I acquired recently, a fully-manual Fujica ST801, got it’s first roll back yesterday. I’m a little more impressed with the results of this roll.

The results were overall better than the AE-1, which reinforces a general distrust of things unnecessarily computerized.
