La frustración opaca la esperanza de ver alguna señal. Entonces caes en un fondo del que no quieres/puedes salir.
One of my flea market finds; a tiny plastic camera (4.8x3.9cm / 1.9x1.5in) made in Sweden in the 1950’s. Similar to a View-Master, you peek into the camera and can see black and white images of famous actors such as John Wayne, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe. You flick through the images with the button on the top left.
About my Corner of Curiosities: A few years ago I bought a little box with drawers, thinking I would collect a few special bits and pieces in there. I parked this little set on top of my IKEA chest of six drawers which stands in a corner of my apartment. In time, I added more small shelfs, drawers and boxes and began to put curious items on display in all the little nooks and crannies. Quirky little things I mostly find on flea markets, but also get off the net. This corner of my home serves as inpiration, and every once in I while I walk up the IKEA dresser, put my elbows on top and rest my chin in my hands while I let my eyes wander through all these curious things. Moments such as these give spark my imagination and spurs my motivation to doodle in my journals. The collection is’nt all that special, as it’s not very easy finding fairly cheap, quirky and curious things, small enough to fit in the corner. My collection is constantly changing, if I find a new collectible, something else has to go or be moved around - as the corner now more or less is full.
Anywho, I thought I’d dedicate a photo album to this Corner of Curiosities, here on Flickr - probably for no other purpose than to tickle my own imagination :)
A Twin Lens Reflex camera from Kodak (1946), and a Single Lens Reflex camera from Praktica (the FX2, 1956).
Both, as you can see, with waist level viewfinders. The Praktica launched just a year before companies like Asahi Pentax introduced the ‘modern’ eye level SLR viewfinder.
These cameras are featured in a new video I've posted on YouTube about the history of film cameras from 1930.
Decided to take my lockdown regulation walk via Craigleith and Ravelston today. I dusted off my camera and brought it along for some snaps.

Thought I'd start of 2011 with an updated collection photo - so here goes!
Here are quite a few of my little camera faces, the collection has grown quite a bit over time
Still dominated by primarily box cameras, I have added 2 other bookcases filled with other pieces
Great hobby, so much fun, but I'm starting to get a bit crowded =)
I'll have to come up with another solution to displaying my addiction... I mean collection =) haha!
enjoy and please post up any questions if you have them.

The classical line of Nikon's point & shoot cameras. Three models, each in two versions: AD with data-back or AF without one. So you have
1983: L35AF and L35AD
1984: L35AF2 and L35AD2
1987: AF3 and AD3, the L35 part of the name was dropped
And to confuse you some more, both the L35AF2 and AF3 were called one-touch in some regions.
There are other, "special", cameras with the L35 designation. The L35TWAF with tele-lens and the all-weather L35AWAF.
So, what are the differences?
The lens: all cameras have an 1:2.8 35 mm lens, but the AF and AF2 have a lens construction with 5 elements in 4 groups, the AF3 has only 4 elements in 3 groups. The nearest focus distance of the AF and AF2 is 0.8 m, the AF3 is macro capable and has a nearest distance of 0.45m. The distance determined by the autofocus is shown with symbols in the viewer of the AF and AF2 and not in the one of the AF3.
Film speed: the film speed has to be set manually at the AF, the range is from 25 to 400 ASA, on later versions this was extended to 1000 ASA. The other ones can read DX-code, the AF2 from 50 to 1600, the AF3 from 64 to 1600.
Flash operation: an inglorious aspect of the AF and AF2. It is supposed that the flash pops up automatically and is used in that way. If you want to force the flash to pop up for doing some fill-in lighting, you have to shadow the exposure meter and press the shutter button halfway. If you don't want to use the flash, e.g. for a night shot, you must hold down the flash - with your other hand. The flash of the AF3 doesn't pop up, you can switch it of by pressing a button, so you need your other hand too.
Batteries: 2x AA for the AF and AF2, a lithium 6V CR-P2 for the AF3
Details: only the AF has switch for backlight compensation (+2EV). Only the AF and AF3 have a filter thread (46 mm). Only the AF2 and AF3 have a built-in lens protection, the AF needs a special lens cap.

Leisure Valley, Chandigarh
A camera allows you to dream. It allows you to focus on the things you like about the time and space you inhabit. In my recent work on Chandigarh, I have sought to capture the essence of the city for future generations who will live or pass through it. When I migrated here in the late seventies, Chandigarh was a relaxed, laid back town. Time moved languidly and slowly during those days. It is now a bustling, energetic city, which has fortunately retained the charm and beauty of its early years. There are very few cities in India, which can be compared with Chandigarh, because there are very few cities, which were entirely built according to a master plan by an architect of the stature of Le Corbusier. The complex interplay of shadows and light in Le Corbusier's architecture is particularly enthralling to me as a photographer. I view a camera as a receptacle of light. But imagining a great architect conceiving and building a city as a receptacle of light is an exhilarating vision for me. Presently I am working on documenting this light as it falls on the stirring straight lines and open spaces of Chandigarh.
Chandigarh has retained the rigid design and beauty of Corbusier's art. Human habitation and nature exists in harmony in the city. In the future this city, like every other city, will change in ways we cannot fathom at the moment. In my work I have sought to follow Leo Tolstoy's dictum: "In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you". I have stopped for a moment. I have ceased my work. I am looking around. I would like to share what I see through the viewfinder of my camera. The human eye has a 50mm angle of view. But photography offers multiple angles of view stretching from ultra wide to ultra telephoto. I view these photographs as my homage to the beautiful city, which has given me shelter for over three decades.

Happy Pay Day!
Decided I deserved a treat, so went out today and got a nice shiny new camera, a Canon 760D.
(in my defense, this wasn't an impulse buy, the camera was initially released back in September last year, and I have gazed longingly at it ever since :-P )
