I recently fixed this camera's pressure plate that had come off. I couldn't solder it in place so I resorted to using a sewing needle with some black thread to reattach it to the spring. Seems to have worked well enough to hold the film in place.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed using this little cheap camera. The viewfinder was the clearest, biggest and sharpest I've ever used on a point and shoot. And the lens produced some nice sharp-ish results. I will use it again for sure. The only thing is the advance motor would advance the film by two frames each time which meant I ended up with half the number of shots I could of had with another camera.

Marble wonders where the night sky goes when the sun wakes up each morning. She thought if she waited for the moment when the sun first begins to reach up from its mountain top bed, she would have her answer. Marble never did make it to sunrise, but Phillip did. He won't say what he saw. He is kind of mysterious like that.

If you'd open your eyes then maybe you'd see what's at stake
You're sleeping
You make a lot of money, and you live in a mansion
And pretty much got everything that you could ever imagine
But you feel like even though you got everything in the world
You got nothing
So what you do then is you start going backwards
You runnin' in a direction
And you lookin' for something that isn't real
And all you know is that you just gotta have it
What you're doin' is sleepin'
And thinking that you're awake and you're not
And the problem is that you don't know what you're after
So you put everything that you have into what you do
Hoping that one day maybe you don't have to feel like you're empty
But as you get older a lot of weight on your shoulders is getting heavy
Then you look back and you start to regret things
You only get one life
And every time you lookin' at yours
You feel like everything you have is a waste
And the problem and the reason you could never fill a hole in your life
Is because you were never awake
This Alligator is on the bank next to a low foot bridge crossing a small creek. He turned his head and followed me and my companion as we crossed the bridge. Both myself and my friend kept a close eye on this one and moved quickly to the bridge.
Long time no see
The hot Summer days drained my creative capabilities and the motivation to spend time on Flickr.
But Autumn did awake my spirts again, so expect more from me in the next days, weeks and months.

“Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.”
Henry David Thoreau
Hope you have a great Sunday and that you find time to dream a little! ;-)
the eyes are resting,
and no light touches from the outside.
Left in the own darkness
safe - not born to be here.
rain is my second skin,
washing the world away,
covering me
in a shine of reflections -
which i do not be.
to be - be -
in the inside,
my god
and my holding heart,
knowing.
i did not win what is already lost,
but i swim
in the energy of my soul.
being.
knowing.
alive.
but not alive -
in this wrong neon lights,
fake lights
of illusions.
its all inside.

(my words - i am not gone - i am just not here)
They always seem to be in a state somewhere between awake and asleep.

these are part of a series I did on insomnia and the things I would see while I was awake in the late, late night/ early morning.
The AJAC challenge of the month was "Blast from the past" where we revisited past challenges. Take a look at our shots here : www.flickr.com/groups/ajac
