Here’s my spare change Skipper I got yesterday at the Barbie meeting repainted look like a Japan exclusive Vintage Skipper (there’s a great post about her here ). I’ve really been wanting to do this custom on a vintage Skipper for a long time but most Skippers I come across have most of their paint intact so I always end up restoring them instead.
But this doll was missing her eyebrows and most of her eye paint was gone so I had no qualms about doing this custom finally.
Her knees still work really well so I didn’t want to mess up or swap out her legs to fix her missing feet so she got these vintage boots that are near impossible to put on or off on any doll and this Skipper outfit that matches pretty well so no one will ever see the horror of her missing feet.
I’m definitely happy to have a recreation of this sought after doll for the price of a $5 note.
Then someone shouted "whats in that tank wagon ?" , "F**~#/ng Fuel " came the reply followed by "call the Fire Brigade" !
Another plastic fantastic camera from the 80's. This Ricoh AF-5 is a fixed lens AF compact much in the same spirit of the Nikon L35 AF. The highlights here are the 38/2,8 lens that has a very good reputation and the ability to permanently shut off the flash. The viewfinder is quite nice or such a modest camera and indicates focus distance and flash warning. No control over the camera, except for the ASA setting, which is nice. The lens cap acts as a mains switch, with the cap on, no function whatsoever in the camera, no power, impossible to take pictures, very clever indeed.
i wanted to do the challange this week but with a big dog it was hard to come up with good ideas. i'll be away for the weekend so the time ran out and i had to pick one of the few photos taken this week. its been snowing lika crazy and i can't remember it being this much snow since i was little! berit is actually getting used to it and don't hate is as much. but it is still too cold. ;)

We ran. we ran as fast as we could. Buck was really badly hurt, but he could still run. We stayed right behind him in case we needed to cover him from behind. that is when we heard it. the rumble of engines.
Protodeka.
//"Carnage" CT-1579/60: Run!
Our steady pace turned into a scrambling sprint. The beast was on our tail, firing missiles at us. It was over. we were going to die, surrounded by trash and muck.

On Zorki, as with other Soviet-era rangefinders, the shutter speed selector rotates when the shutter is released, and should not be changed until after the shutter has been cocked. If you change the shutter speed without cocking the shutter first, the setting pin can be broken when you advance the film and cock the shutter.
The Zorki-5 is one of the less known Zorki model. Some collectors consider it (and its successor Zorki-6) one of the best Zorkis ever made.
Zorki-5 is a modified Zorki 2S (similar to the FED-2): a longer rangefinder base, an advance lever instead of knob, a combined viewfinder and rangefinder window, and an adjustable diopter.
The Zorki-5 comes in two versions with 7 types. The first version with a square rangefinder window and Industar-50 both collapsible or rigid lens. The second version is very similar to the Zorki-6. With a round rangefinder window and Industar-50 f3.5/50mm lens.
There are at least 2 different body coverings.
The very early models of Zorkis are Russian Leica II inspired cameras, but later models like Zorki-4 are quite different from the Leicas. Zorkis are very nicely made and finished. The results are as good as any Leica.
KMZ founded in 1942, in order to produce optical equipment for the war needs.
KMZ factory began making cameras, starting with the Moskva folding camera in 1946.
They began producing FED cameras to cover the low production of FED factory in 1948.
The factory made some design and technical changes on FED, so the production of the Zorki began in 1949. KMZ factory is the manufacturer of the Zenit and Moskva cameras also.
In 1952, KMZ created an SLR based on some modifications of the Zorki, and thus the Zenit was born.

Day 5; January 5, 2010
A very wise man once told me that, "The hardest thing to stop is something that's trying to happen." From my experience these are some of the truest words ever spoken... and it's doubley true when it comes to being creative.
Yesterday I was a ball of fire. I was inspired and energetic. I created a list of the twenty or so techniques I plan to used during January for my 365. I created a calendar and entered them all in and started planning the weekly themes I would use throughout the coming year. I was on and I was riding the wave.
Fast forward to my planned theme for the day. "Strobist-Still Life" was on the agenda. Easy. I had a concept I had been thinking about for some time and this was a perfect reason to execute it. But the photo gods weren't smiling on me, I just couldn't get it right so I changed directions toward a previous shot that I wanted to redo. That also let me down. My heart just wasn't in it and frustration was taking hold.
By this time it was 9:00 p.m., I decided that I needed some air. I grabbed my photo kit and headed out the door. All of a sudden I was in my element. I love shooting long exposures. My whole outlook changed. I found something to shoot within 30 seconds of leaving my home and then I moved on and on and on. 2 hours, five locations and 50 frames later I returned home and I was ecstatic at some of the great shots I got.
So here it is, midnight, but don't worry I got my shot. It's not a strobist shot but it's a fun shot. =)
This is something I've been wanting to do for awhile. It's a long exposure of about 4 seconds at f ƒ/8 | ISO 200 with the camera sitting right on the stair tread of an escalator. This convenient, empty escalator was at the train station. Funny how I always end up there.
See you tomorrow!
The wind whispers and The Bridge radio station talks to the heart... www.siriusxm.com/thebridge
It was my Radio Station during the whole trip to the United States. It was my only company, the only human voice, the only sound and music when I was so alone, in the heart of Nature. Sometimes having the perfect music with the incredible sights, at dusk or dawn, was such an emotion, just too huge for a human heart to bear in full.
102.5 MHz
I sospiri del vento e la stazione radio The Bridge era lì...
The Bridge, la Stazione Radio che ha viaggiato con me durante l'avventura negli stati uniti. Era la mia sola compagnia, l'unica voce umana, l'unico suono e la grandiosa musica nei momenti di profonda solitudine, nel cuore della natura.
La canzone giusta, ascoltata di fronte a questi panorami grandiosi, al tramonto o all'alba, era spesso una emozione così intensa da essere quasi insopportabile...
"you had me at woof"
Another little foster puppy joined us this week. Little Charlotte who is only 5 weeks old has fallen in love with Quincy, and even though he is playing it cool the feeling is mutual.
