Golden Roof Innsbruck
Originally uploaded by curiouskiwi.
It was about Day 2 or 3 of my European bus tour, when my 35mm camera just wouldn’t snap. We had just arrived in Innsbruck, Austria, and I took the only person on our tour who spoke German with me to the local camera shop (just around the corner from Innsbruck’s famous Golden Roof). She translated my problem to the camera guy, he went back into the darkroom, and came out again with a frown on his face. He handed it back and said “Das ist kaput!” I didn’t need a translation for that! 
So I spent the rest of my European trip using disposable cameras. After a couple of weeks, I bought a ‘cheap’ fixed-focus camera from a shop in Zeist, Netherlands, which I used for the rest of my trip.
But…
I met Gary on that tour, so now I can still enjoy all the photos that he took!
