Mercedes was friendly and very helpful host. We were welcomed with a bottle of champagne, however I wish We could stay a little bit longer with a glass of fizz on rooftop terrace than just till midnight..on a such hot night would be very appreciated. Perfect location. Thank you.
Mercedez is very friendly and helpful. The plaza is very full of life and is entertaining. The rooms are five flights up even though the apartment is listed as the 3rd floor. It is an eclectic mix of three rooms with a beautiful Golden retriever, Stevie Wonderful, to pet and love. The room was very hot and rather stuffy even thought there was an 'air conditioner' in the room. Very old ceiling with beams and a balcony you had to crawl through a very low door to get to. Right off La Rambla, which is insanely touristy in the summer. Worth the money as it is inexpensive and full of other travelers who love to talk. Breakfast was filling and great coffee.
We loved our time with Mercedes. She's a wonderful hostess with great recommendations. Her apartment is in a prime location - on the 5th floor, which is quite a haul with luggage, but the views of the plaza from the roof are worth it. Thanks for an enjoyable stay, Mercedes!
Great location, and nice dog :). Also has a great terrace. We only stayed one night but would definitely have stayed more if we could.
Dar las gracias a Mercedes por su hospitalidad, nos ha hecho sentir realmente como en casa. El lugar es ideal para visitar la ciudad, está muy bien situado, tanto para ir a la playa como una visita a la ciudad.

Wow. Where to start.
You are not Avadon. 8x10 portraits are... a major learning curve. Exposure, lighting, perspective, DOF, subject movement etc.
4x5 portraits are not quite as easy as you think either. Jumping from MF is easy in some respects and quite challenging in others.
I shoot 8x10 because the tonal and intense image granularity blow me away, always have. But.. I started out with 4x5, lived with it for 20 some years, moved for a short time to 5x7, then found the camera of my dreams, an early 70s Deardorff V-8. And I still have 4x5 and 5x7 backs for it but they are hardly used. I use it to shoot landscapes exclusively. Contact print (8x10 - 5x7) only.
If I were you, I would buy a quality 4x5 monorail with full movements, a couple good lens, and a 4x5 MXT enlarger. If you really like LF, then go for the gold. Learn the basics first.

ESPS7401 - War & Peace
Course value: 0.5 unit
Convenor: Dr Peter Schröder
Duration: One term (Term 1)
Teaching structure: Two-hour seminar
Assessment: 1 assessed essay of 5,000 words (100%)
Available to: Second Years, Final Years, and Affiliates
Course Description:
This course is designed for ESPS students in their second or fourth year, who specialise in History of Political Thought or Political Philosophy.
War and the discourse about its legitimacy is one of the major features of human civilisation, or indeed – as some would argue – the starkest sign of the lack of civilisation.
We will engage in theories about war and peace from early modern to modern times.
Please note that this course focuses on the theories developed in the early modern period and is NOT a course on IR.
