Topic: All the right moves .......... maybe ..............

[Ken B: eyes, I just do eyes.]

Recently for a special birthday number, okay I turned 30  my darling wife took me on a secret trip to Turkey which she had planned for the previous 8 months, so yes she is the best wife in the world ever!

She even organised some mates from London and some mates from Sydney to meet us in Goreme as a surpise! The following are some silly snaps of the boys being boys, wearing cowboy hats (They're coming back in man)

The tenuous link to this forum is the camera I am holding.


Mamiya Pin up Boy!



Thunderbirds are Go!



We crack ourselves up!



The difficult second album cover



Game Off! - Waynes World reference for the film Geeks



Still not complying with direction from photographer



Our work here is done!





In further news the camera bag I have over my shoulder is a Kata DL-H-537 Hybrid D-Light Shoulder Bag

I picked it up off of Amazon for £25.00 just before we went away and it carried the C220 with 55mm, the 80mm in the same big compartment divided along with about 4 rolls of film  In the separate compartment was the 135mm and my Sekonic L-308 lightmeter, not quite enough room for the spotmeter which I could have done with on a few occasions.

Overall this bag was very good for hiking around the hills and valleys of the Goreme UNESCO national park

Hopefully there is a keeper or two from the trip I can share on here.

Cheers

What?!
I never knew cowboy hats went out of style.

Looks like a fab trip, and yes your wife is very cool to do that for you!
Can't wait to see the pix!!!!

30? I'll soon be as old as you....!! 

Fantastic thing to do for one's hubby - you must've been thrilled. On the hat front, I'm looking for a good quality Panama hat to accompany me to Morocco in July. Okay, a Fez might be more appropriate but they're just so "last Tuesday" style-wise!!

Cool shots matey.....

Ken,  you're looking good for a 30 year old.  And glad to see your sense of sartorial elegance is undiminished.  Mind you, I'm not sure posing legs akimbo in a Turkish village square is a good idea - even with a cowboy hat!

If you're looking for the ultimate in travel head wear, I've got a Tilley cocoa brown hemp hat. I've had it for years and would call it indestructible. It's fungus proof, won't rot, very resistant, can be crumpled in a bag, stores flat, floats, has a place to hide a some papers, a sweat proof band. I know it won't make you look like Humphrey but it's darn convenient. Besides, it's one of the rare things still Made in Canada

She did very well, although all was nearly lost last weekend when Iw as tidying and cleaning the flat, she suggested I could sell some of my camera gear

We nearly bought a Fez each for evening wear!

Thanks Leon, I put the longevity of my good looks down to wallowing the fumes of ID-11, D-76, Perceptol and a bloody rugged tasting bit of bulk mix fixer.
