140. Sean Connery + Ihagee Exakta Junior : Golf Clubhouse
atelier ying, nyc.
Connery's portrayal of Bond for the film Goldfinger is memorable, especially his golf match at the Royal St. Mark's course with Auric Goldfinger.
This is not a real Exakta. It's been gutted and redone to be camera that is also a golf clubhouse.
The camera is now digitized to open up more space for storage purposes.
A film winder has been attached to support a Caddy's lap notepad or a clubhouse betting book. You can use the main camera lens as a slide viewer for these slides, like a magic lantern or camera obscura except that the viewer's own eye is the projection surface.
Rolls of Slide film records of various golf courses are stored valuably below inside the film winder on a wall of gridded shelves in the style and manner of a cigar club and also very similar to the Gallery Ying camera. Instead of private individual humidors for members, each compartment holds notes for a single golf course in a roll of slide film and also one tiny cigar. One of tubes is a humi-tube to maintain proper humidity for this clubhouse humidor. The cigar of choice for this clubhouse would be the cuban Romeo y Julieta Petit Princess, a Perla size which would have to be trimmed a bit to accommodate the compartments.
An inner courtyard between the two volumes of the Exakta space gives a secondary view as both a viewfinder and a traditional expansive clubhouse vista of the last hole. When closed, the courtyard stores shot glasses.
The caddy book can be optionally contain notes for the World Golf Tour's virtual courses.
The camera's presentation case holds many items including: the digitized camera, a small bottle of St. Andrews Old Course Single Malt Whiskey honoring Connery a Scotsman (Drambuie is substituted for the atelier ying "commemorative" case), a golf caddy notebook and refill, a clubhouse betting book and a Telex rangefinder which would be a kind of pinseeker within 40 feet.
A Notice to all my Flickr friends: does anyone want to play some WGT Golf online? We could form a Flickr Country Club with St. Andrews as the home course and have some real fun together. No restrictions apply. Please email me, this might be more productive than a Flickr group! We can use this uploaded drawing as an update link.
