I couldn't help but to wish the very last bed my grandfather slept on could be a bit more comfortable. Not that it was that important, after all, a cadaver is a cadaver. They don't whine and complain about their tedious life (or for that matter, their lack of it) like you and I

I imagined, this is what science and religion would looked like together. A group of scholars of faith fiddling through the scattered bones of my grandfather with percussion. It is, as if, any mistakes would tremble the very foundation and meaning of their existence. I thought these monks reminded me of the teenage dreamers that try to find the meaning of life through their favorite science-fiction novels. It may seem random, but when you experienced a death of a family member, your mind can wonders into strange places.

What camera should I buy?
I finally rented the Mamiya 7 from Gassers and was very disappointed with the quality of the camera. I didn't like how the viewfinder was to the side and you could see the lens when you looked through it. Plus all the knobs seemed fragile and sticky.
So now I am stuck back where I was. I need a higher quality camera than my OM1 and my Holga, but I'm not sure what to get. Maybe a Hasselblad with a Prism viewfinder? Or a Leica?
I would like something I can travel with and can take a photo with fairly quickly so I don't miss a moment. Ideally I could do macro work with it too. I don't think there is a camera which meets all my qualifications. Any ideas?
