My \"other\" hobby

[vincegamer]

You subscribed to Smithsonian Magazine?
It\'s a good one. I\'d subscribe except I can\'t ever read all of the magazines I\'m already getting.

p.s.
Are you still considering law school?
BTW, your mom said a while back that you\'d emailed me but as I hadn\'t responded you thought I was mad or something. Did she ever tell you I wasn\'t? Some reason your and her emails didn\'t get to me, though I check PMs every day too, and they always get through.

Now when I really want to get artsy I use my Yashika dual lens reflex camera (circa 1950\'s/60\'s - I need to find the exact age).

Ooooooo! Those were great cameras! That\'s what we used when I was first taking photography in college. They made us use those for a semester even if we had oour own SLR\'s. Great cameras! Now I\'m all nostalgic

I get nostalgic using it too, since it was my dad\'s camera and the one that all my childhood holiday photos were taken with.
Though my dad had died, I insisted my mom bring it to my college graduation to take pictures with.

I get so nostalgic that I just bid on another one of them on ebay!

Beautiful photograph. I enjoy the classic black and white photograph . The rwanda genocide survivor is one heck of a crazy photo!

I get so nostalgic that I just bid on another one of them on ebay! I recently bought my dad a Nikon Coolpix 775 on Ebay. Got it for a Steal of a price. He\'s taken to it like a Duck to water. He\'s even read the manual, which is more than I normally do.
We\'ll be having a trip to Chester soon and He\'s really looking forward to taking some pics round there. I might share them with you all.

Very nice photo Vince. Good show and all that rot.

Hey, Vince: I found a lnk:
Yashica TLRs
Go down to the bottom of the page and there\'s a chart listing approximate production dates for each of the Yashica TLR cameras. Hope that helps.

Bump

Some may have missed this bit of shameless self-promotion.

Congrats! Definitely must be exhilerating to be chosen for such a presitigious competition.

My personal favs are the navajo craftsman and in the natural section I really like the cat.

That\'s seriously cool Vince. Did she fight much over the pics? My girlfriend took a photography course this semester. She\'s quite obsessed at this point. I keep telling her photos of me aren\'t good for the health of her camera. She just says \"stand still, will you. No over there, not like that...\" So far, her interests have cost me a pair of badly ripped pants and gas money up to the grand canyon. ...Standing in front of the rock wasn\'t good enough. No, no, the light was much better up on top of it.

Hey Dragonsreach, you might enjoy reading \"Desert Wife,\" by Hilda Faunce or \"Hosteen Klah\" by Francis Newcomb. If you\'re more interested in crime in and around the Diné Bikéyah, try \"The Broken Circle.\" All very good reads.

Cool I\'ll look them out. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Brimshack]

No problem at all. I used to know the name of the actual trading post that Faunce was writing about. If I can remember it, I\'ll let you know.

I\'m not at all surprised that many of you have preferred the photo of the lone craftsman sitting under a shaft of light diligently working on some small piece of art.

Hmmmmmn, I wonder why?

Way to go Vince. Cool photo. I have to agree with the others though that silversmith photo is cool.
