The final to my future-auto exploration. This time, based on several retro-future compact-car designs (including by Syd Mead of course). Ironically, this is the only of the three that actually fits a full figure.
The purpose of the three cars was to look at what I consider the three main areas of consumer-cars in futuristic media: Luxury, Show, and Utility. I am disregarding Industrial and Military as I have made a ton of the former already and I don't really like the latter.
Hi!
I made a remake of an old photo, but this time, with a stop motion clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5d9783-Ib4

To me, it would seem that a dandelion bloom would be somehow different than this. I think that it's because a dandelion's fibers are all so scattered, at first glance, that it seems unlikely that they start out so orderly. Then the reasoning kicks in that dandelions use air dispersal to get their offspring away from the parent plant. Of course, then, there isn't a random combination of structures. They must be grown specifically to take advantage of being both light and fluffy.
Still with me? Gone to take a snooze?

11th November 1620, Provincetown Harbour, near Cape Cod, passengers on board the Mayflower sign "The Compact". The Compact was the first governing document of Plymouth Colony and was written by the male passengers of the voyage, consisting of separatist Puritans, adventurers, and tradesmen.
This build is based on by the painting of the Mayflower Compact by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris.

The theme for today in the Kerrisdale Cameras daily photo challenge is “Compact”. I struggled with this one until I saw one of my daughters CD’s (Compact Disc) sitting on the table reflecting light from a nearby window #kcphotochallenge

I must be one of the very few people who don't like the Petri Color 35. There, I've said it. Don't get me wrong, from the collector's standpoint it is a great camera: Great looks, intuitive design, a marvel of camera engineering, all this from a maker of budget cameras who tried (and partially succeded) to come up with a "Rollei 35 killer" at a time when Rollei was still a premium name in the camera business.
Me, I like to judge cameras as a user first and the Color 35 has a very serious drawback for a viewfinder guess-focus camera: There is no way to focus the lens without bringing the camera to your eye, as there is no distance scale on the retracting lens barrel. You have to either keep the camera at eye level throughout focusing (with the added risk of getting your finger in your eye while turning the focusing knob at the back) in order to watch the needle move over the distance indicators in the viewfinder, or use it hyperfocally which somehow defeats the whole purpose of having manual control over aperture and thus DOF. All this led me to sell the Color 35 I had and declare the original Rollei 35 (which gives you the opportunity to fully control every aspect of shooting without the need to bring the camera at eye level other than at the exact moment of framing) as the undisputed winner of this duel.
Now to the camera pictured here: After the commercial success of the Color 35, Petri decided to release another camera based on it, retaining some of its virtues (compact size, retractable lens) but replacing the fully manual exposure with a fully automatic one which would make the camera much more appealing to the casual user. This way, the Petri Color 35E (for "Electronic") was born. Wisely enough, Petri added a distance indicator on the lens barrel, correcting the fundamental drawback of the Color 35. With time, the name changed a bit, the camera also existed as "Petri 35E" then renamed "Petri Micro Compact" which also involved a change in finish from the classic chrome to black. The latter can also be found as "Carena Micro Compact".
Sadly, as the camera evolved, it slowly lost the good build quality that characterised the first Color 35, probably reflecting the gradual decline of Petri into bankruptcy. Although the size is identical to the Color 35 and features like the completely removable back or the freely rotating strap lugs remain, almost all metal has been replaced by plastic, resulting in an overall feel very close to a toy camera, much worse than what pictures of the camera online suggest at first glance. Everything feels very flimsy and easily breakable. The VF is decent but without any exposure or distance indicators at all and the only amenity to the user is a battery test button. Perhaps the early Color 35E model retains some of the quality of its mechanical sibling, but working ones are rather uncommon to find at low prices, probably a spill-over effect from the reputation and collectability of the original Color 35.
To those collecting Fashion Royalty from the beginning....can anyone tell me the story of this compact?

I initially wanted to have a few small cars that would fit into an autorack, similar to the Vert-A-Pac. The train car didn't work out, but the regular cars did. I will now use them for my LUG's city layout.
My daughter and I ordered two sets of these Sailor Moon gashapon compacts back in October and they arrived yesterday! We love them!
When I featured the Fujica Compact this time, I also introduced the Compact S and Compact D. I mentioned that since both the S and D I own are in perfect working condition, I wouldn’t be modifying them. However, to my (perhaps happy?) surprise, the D turned out to have a faulty shutter. So, I immediately took out the lens. Since it’s equipped with a large-aperture Fujinon 45mm f/1.8, I just couldn’t resist getting my hands on it.
Fujica’s rangefinder/leafshutter cameras with large-aperture lenses include the following:
Fujica 35 SE ... Fujinon 45mm f/1.9
Fujica 35 EE ... Fujinon 45mm f/1.9
Fujica 35 VⅡ ... Fujinon 45mm f/1.8
And now, this one:
Fujica Compact D ... Fujinon 45mm f/1.8
All of these lenses are truly outstanding performers — that’s Fujinon for you!!!

Architect: James Herbert Brownell (1962)
Developer: Pearce & Co.
Builder: Fergin-Griffin Co.
Location: San Diego (Pacific Beach), CA
Brownell was an architect based in Corona Del Mar, just up the road in Orange County. These sixteen homes demonstrate an ingenious solution to a series of narrow, sloping lots with views on one side. The solution was to build them as row homes, and push them as far up the hill as possible to maximize the views. More information can be found here
The news of the passing of the Dutch engineer who invented the audio Compact Cassette, Lou Ottens, got me to thinking how useful and handy these were back in the day and efficient - even a provision to prevent accidental ereasure. The quality of the audio wasn't up there with reel-to-reel, but they paved they way for portable music. Even after portable compact disc (which Mr. Ottens was involved in the development of) players came out, portable cassette players were the best way to go - easier to fit into a pocket and slower battery drain - though it took many years to get the player down to the size of the cassette itself. Until at least MP3 players came out, which like everything else digital revolutionized everything.
It started with the LC-A, that I got in a 2nd hand shop in Budapest 2 years ago, I took it to test it the next days on my way by train across Bulgaria/Romania to Istambul, and I finally figured out that P&S were the way to travel without worries. always ready, and in a simple pocket. SET
Eventually the lc-a fell and so I could try to fix the frame counter it had to get a new dress.
Also, missing some shots because of the zone focus it was not ideal, so I started looking for some cheep AF ones, and they had to be as pocketable as the lc-a, on that area the mju II is the winner.
I don't think this collection will grow much more, unless I stumble upon some expensive models or so, for very cheap (ricohs gr, minolta TC-1 etc...) I'm happy with these ones for now, let's see what comes next.

I just came back from the fleamarket with some more P&S cameras, Mju I (another),
