The Wallace has an impressive collection of Majolica (or Maiolica) tin-glazed pottery produced in Italy during the Renaissance. As far as I know, it was an art form developed in the Urbino region and not much developed elsewhere, although in the UK the Victorians copied it. The subject matter was often classical or hunting scenes, but many plates and bowls are of a domestic nature.
This plate, made round 1510, features two girls embracing. Judging by their almost bald heads and chubbiness, they must be toddlers, but it’s a curious centrepiece for a plate that has wild animals, sea creatures, hunting horns and axes round the outside.
Made in USA , 1955-1960 ; for roll film size 620 . Kodet fixed focus lens f/15 ; pin and screw flash contacts .
This is my collection of manual focus lenses, most of which I use regularly.
back row: Tair-3 300/4.5, Carl Zeiss 180/2.8, Pentacon 200/4, Vivitar Series 1 70-210/3.5, 3M-5CA 500/8 (mirror), Vivitar Series 1 90/2.5 Bokina (with 1:1 adapter), Hartblei Super Rotator 45/3.5 Tilt Shift.
Middle row: Samyang 85/1.4, Carl Zeiss 135/3.5, Nikon 105/4 micro, Arsat 35/2.8 Shift, Samyang 8/3.5 fisheye, Jupiter-9 85/2.
Front row: Helios 44-3 58/2, Carl Zeiss Flektogon 35/2.4, Helios 44-2 58/2, Nikon 50/1.2, Zenitar 16/2.8 fisheye, Nikon 55/3.5 micro, Vivitar 28/2.8 close focus.
I have collected these lens via eBay, charity shops, etc during the past 18 months. It all started with the Helios 44-2 58/2 which I bought for £15, it is a Russian copy of the Carl Zeiss Biotar 58/2.
Many of these lenses are better than their auto-focus counterparts, they really don't make them like this any more.
All lenses are used on the Canon 7D or Canon 5D Mkll.
My downsized collection at the end of 2012. Been selling a lot of stuff, trying to upgrade mostly.
Worst part is i am now left without a medium format camera. I hope to get a Mamiya 6 by the end of 2013.

Have been collecting them since I was 12. Bit late to start really, but that's kinda when they came out. Now you can only find them secondhand.
I have quite a big collection of the boys version - Mighty Max. They're very cool too!! Very gruesome! I'll have to get them out too and take a pic of them!
Most of my pinhole cameras. I have been leaving the take-up can taped to the camera, with a long leader sticking out the right side. Less taping when I'm ready for a new roll of film. more info about the Foosh.
I made the Altoids tin first - it was too fun to stop. The matchbox pinhole cameras are the easiest to make. I have four because I lent two to a local museum show, then made another to display "exploded" so people could see at a glance how they were made. Then I realized I wouldn't have any in the house for 2 months, so I had to make another one.

Here's a summary of info in the comments below:
My pinholes are around .2 mm, using this chart.
Scotch 235 tape is lightproof masking tape. Useful if you don't want any light leaks.
Some people do have success with electric tape - it doesn't work for me.
You can tear gaffer's tape (which I used in all the cameras above) into long strips - about 12 inches by 1 inch. Easier to wrap around between the canister and the matchbox.
This photo appears in the Camera Wiki entry for pinhole cameras - check out that page if you haven't seen it - lots of good info.
Instructions to make the cameras:

There are lots of other pinhole groups on flickr.
Some of you guys have asked me about my collection/ what it looks like/ where I keep them.
I figured since I just re-arranged (due to 5 new additions) Id take a couple pics and show you.
Behind my EAH's are Voltageous, Meowlody+Purrsephone, Catrine, HH Bloodgood, and Catty all in their boxes.
My SDCC 2012 is hiding behind all my MH kids :)
Of course I have a few odds & ends and my small Anime/Manga collection.
I hope this year is filled with great and lucky doll finds for us all!
Cheers to 2014 Mates!
Dear friends,
the warmer days have begun and summer feelings are back : ). Time to show you my new fashion collection! I’m still in love with the Boho fashion trend and you’ll find lots of lovely designs, including two of my favourite pieces, two Kimono jackets!
As always, I try to make fashions that are highly compatible with fashions you already have, so you’ll find cute shorts and fantastic shirts, too. I’d love to hear which designs are your favorites ; )!
And for the first time, I’m offering Fashions for the Curvy Barbie body – modelled by my adorable Luna.
May all your summer days be sunny and your spirits stay wild and free…

What is a Honda fanboy doing in a Toyota museum?
I actually love Toyota's. My second car (my first car was a Honda Jazz/ City) was a 1990 Daihatsu Charade with 1.3 EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) engine sourced from Toyota. The car was only 800kg and had 90hp and you could rev it till 7000rpm. Naturally aspirated, independent suspension, stabilizers, hydraulic brakes, no power steering. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQwYNca4iog
I have great memories from Toyota rentals. I love me some Today - Tomorrow - Toyota's.

Whats in my Bag Closet, we were doing a little closet cleaning today- trying to find room for my new board and boots....I had to move my cameras from the closet into a Rubbermaid container and then into the shed out back. Don't worry its an accessible box in the shed! I didn't realize i had so much stuff.
*I may have another addiction........
