a beautiful day after two bad day of storms...we're lucky here, though there has been some slight flooding in areas, it's nothing like the people along the Red River. my heart goes out to them as many have lost everything.
makes me count my blessings.
the shot today is a little brownie hawkeye I lucked upon today for $5. of course it came home with me...along with a beautiful mint green vintage slip. hopefully more fun can ensue.
...a little madness in spring is wholesome, even for the king...Emily Dickenson.
I'm ready to be a bit giddy and mad over spring.
gorgeous camera!
ReplyDeleteFirst, that camera is awesome and the price can't be beat.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm getting psyched for Spring, too. I spent a day at one of the most beautiful gardens on the East Coast. Thanks always for your comments on my Flickr page. It's not something I check all the time and I know I should.
that is truly fabulous!! $5 was a steal! looking forward to what you do with it! :-)
ReplyDeletep.s. it's kinda all jackie kennedy, isn't it? :-)
ReplyDeleteit is!! that's totally what it made me think of too. along with the slip thing. you know Jackie always wore a slip.

ReplyDeletei'm so envious of your vintage finds!

and such an awesome photograph of it!
awwww,... that camera takes me back to my teenage years. wonder what ever happened to mine!
ReplyDeleteit works!! I tested it...well, I haven't put a roll of film it. And...thanks to the move, I found some expired film that I had put away and forgot.
ReplyDeleteLove that old camera, what a great find for a sense of a photographic journey.
ReplyDeleteNow to find rolls of film and a place to develop them! What a great find.
ReplyDeleteDid you folks get the wild winds?
ReplyDeleteThe tornado sirens kept going off
and on for a good hour or so here.
Fortunately, no major damages
occurred. Like you said, makes you
count your blessings! Hope you've
had wonderful weekend!
Did you add the texture layers to the photo of the camera, Char? Very nice!
ReplyDeleteyes, there is a slight texture layer to it as well as some grain to give it that film look.
ReplyDeleteFAB photograph!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember my Dad having a camera like that! You pressed a button on the back to pop out the bulbs, and they were so hot you couldn't pick them up for a while.
ReplyDeleteBonus!!
