Car Show on the Berlin Turnpike:Trucks at Panera Bread

Take a look at my early Father's Day gift. On our way to a little couple's get together. We stopped off in Newington at the Panera Bread on the Berlin Turnpike. i love stopping at these things for the great conversations, great cars, sounds and pictures. This post is just trucks. The owner of the Red 3100 asked me why I liked his truck. It seems like a simple question, right? I thought about it and it's complicated. I think I like t he trucks and cars because i don't see them around anymore and because it reminds me of an older generation. The chevy Nova's remind me of my dad. Nostalgia is an expensive thing.

That dash was made by hand over 30 years ago

So, It's been hanging around in the back of a closet somewhere collecting dust. But the digital camera age isn't the only thing that killed this camera. It's the battery drain issue. You can put a brand new 10 dollar battery in this thing.. and it'll be dead the next morning. I did some research and found a write up below on how to fix it. I also tried to record a video of the fix. This is from ...      I've shortened the directions on how to fix it just a tad.. but here you go: my camera with the latch plate off the latch plate Here's a link to

Retro Review: Mamiya/Sekor 500DTL

 So, since diving into the world of Photography, .. I've heard of this extravagant expensive pieces of machinery that take Amazing photos.     They're usually reserved for fashion and product,  photographers. They're called medium Format cameras.  I won't be reviewing one of those things today -sorry. But, I'll get pretty close.      A friend of mine kept telling me about this camera that she had collecting dust in a closet somewhere. So, Naturally  - as a fan of Pawn Stars and American Pickers-- I had my hopes really high for something cool and unique. When she finally got around to bring this camera kit around... I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. The name is familiar.. the camera was not. But I was still surprised.       Mamiya. A big, huge name in Medium format cameras .. next to Hasslebad and Pentax.. also used to make SLR cameras. In my opinion they seemed to be some pretty good quality cameras too. But the much smaller company folded under the pre
