"je suis encore surpris par la musique qui sort de mes mains"
Ce qui renvoie à la question n°21 : quel est le groupe dont vous auriez aimé faire partie ?
Can.
Irmin Schmidt, Holger Czuckay, Michael Karoli, ... c'est vrai que mon nom accolé aux leurs, ça aurait un peu fait tache sur les affiches, mais je sens que j'étais fait pour le Krautrock.
47//52.
Because a Leica M6 is both A.) much more than I can afford, and B.) a massive fixation of mine, I decided to shop around for an affordable alternative. I happened to find this little fella sitting by his lonesome on eBay.
It's a Yashica Electro 35 GS. And it cost me $6. And my identity. But more on that later.
Shipping included.
Simply put, I love it. It fits like a glove in the hand, is built like a tank (slight overstatement) and makes an endearing "thump" sound every time you push the film advance doohickey. I ran an expired roll of Kodak Gold through her/him/it and and was even more pleased to see that it had no light leaks or major flaws.
Not so pleasing is how somebody hacked into PayPal, nabbed by card number and completely drained my checking account shortly after said purchase. Which I believe makes it a "hat trick" of identity thieving. Not as entertaining.
The very nice people at my banking establishment (which was not bailed out by the federal government) took care of it all and saved the day.
Thanks, publicly traded banking establishment.
Thanks, Yashica Electro.
And the chest hair? That's for you, Burt Reynolds.
I was there just to catch the last glimpse of light too, but the roll stayed in the camera for so long and I usually forget what I have in there.
The calmly flowing waters of a swollen Kickapoo Creek gently touch the concrete footings currently supporting the passage of this heavy, 131-car, southbound Union Pacific coal drag as its two, lead, AC six-axles ride their dynamic brakes, coasting downhill across a combination deck plate and lattice through truss bridge along the former C&NW "SI Line" outside Bartonville on a gloomy July morning. This train of loaded aluminum BethGons -- symbol CNAPW 14 -- are topped out with over 18,000 tons Wyoming's finest black diamonds; Filled at Peabody's North Antelope Mine in the state's rich Powder River Basin, these hoppers have only a few short miles left to travel before reaching their destination at NRG Energy's Powerton Generating Station near Pekin. The train will soon cross the Illinois River drawbridge and immediately make a right turn onto the IMRR and down into Crescent Yard for interchange where they'll tie down and the loads will wait for an Illinois & Midland crew to spot the cars at the plant for final dumping. Slated for decommission come the end of 2028 due to the country's relentless insistence on "cleaner" energy alternatives, Powerton is the sole remaining, actively burning coal-fired power plant to still remain standing in the greater Peoria area, outliving the facilities at Havana, Hennepin and Canton's Duck Creek (2019), and eventually the E.D. Edwards Station at Bartonville (2022). Once closed, it'll be another major hit in activity levels for a route that is already down in traffic. Twice weekly scheduled manifest service between Peoria and Clinton, IA, as needed coal, grain and ethanol unit traffic, and seasonal ballast trains are pretty much the bulk of what traverses this line.
For southbounds, this is the final, and most dramatic, crossing atop a snaky Kickapoo Creek which twists and turns beneath the rails of the Peoria Subdivision in six different locations within just about a short, two mile stretch of track. Just about a half mile back from this bridge, the train is still working through the CTC controlled interlocking at "Peoria JCT" where the Peoria Sub main to South Pekin splits from UP's "Low Line," which routes trains for Peoria area interchange into and out of their small Adams St. Yard just a short distance away on the city's southwest side. The single-tracked Peoria Subdivision, which runs south out of Nelson away from the busy Geneva Sub, uses a combination of CTC, TWC and ABS infrastructure to route what little traffic runs down this line and is also the only class 1 of four that has a "through route" through the city. A line that does not get much attention from photographers, an older "winged" EMD SD70ACe on the point of a well timed coal load just was enough for me to grab the camera and quickly pick it off at this very seldom shot location.
I sure could do without that walkway.

Here’s Electro and Shocker requested by Madam Web. You can request any marvel characters in the comments if you want, I will make a purist CCH Verse version of the character as soon as possible.
Electro is on the left and Shocker is on the right.
Dammit, Max, turn around! The fight's behind you!
Alright I'm not even gonna lie, I saw Ja 3ni do this, and it struck me as genius (also if you haven't been through Ja 3ni's stream do it, there's some sweet stuff in there) but I did add a few of my own twists to it, naturally.
I think I changed up a few parts of the SinSix since last you all saw them as well but it's hot and I don't wanna go back and look.
That's it for now, cheers, gents!

The black version of the GS model. Looks much better in black, a thorough cleaning brought this one to mint condition. Unfortunately, the electric circuit is beyond repair, so it will have to be used at the default 1/500 speed, controlling exposure by changing aperture according to the "sunny 16" rule. It's a pity, as the viewfinder is exceptionally clean and the RF patch very contrasty.
