coming to your neighborhood soon - over 400 of these have sprung up in the local area recently - as there are 370,000 plus licensed users in Oklahoma - it became legal in July, 2018
For a time in 1979, several Delaware & Hudson GP39-2’s showed up in Conrail service. A few Conrail B23-7’s were spotted on D&H trains, so I believe that these were loans for evaluation, especially since Conrail was beginning to replace its first- and early second-generation fleet. Here two D&H GP39-2’s join a Conrail U30B on the Saucon Drill in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, while a PB&NE switcher/slug set work in the background. The EMD’s are no strangers to these tracks, having begin their lives as Reading units.

UP YBE51 rolls down Madison Street in Rockford, Illinois with two GP15s and 4 gons from Cimco.
A rare open Friday meant I needed to try something new, and after evaluating every possible option, taking a gamble in the Forest City was the most appealing. Safe to say it paid off.

Evaluating the combination of Adox CHS 100 II and Crawley's FX-15 developer (1:1 for 10 minutes)
Resolution is excellent, grain structure is smooth and not too pronounced (Looks finer/smoother than Thornton 2-bath gave). Good tonal scale, and about half a stop speed boost.
Voigtlander Perkeo II used.
Retina IIC test, serial 50074

I've used a lot of cameras from the fifties and sixties, and there are plenty of mediocre cameras to be found - shoddily engineered and with really poor lenses. But I can assure you, the Kodak Retina IIC from 1958 is not one of those. The sharpness of the Rodenstock Retina-Heligon lens is exceptional, and it has great contrast and flare resistant. The camera itself is a precision instrument, made to last for decades. I expect this IIC has another 60 years of service in it, at minimum. Such a pleasure to use, too.
Maybe 2020 is not lost but a time to reflect, re-evaluate and rediscover. Our future existence will be secured by uniting all its people. With the strength of global unity we can focus on making the world a better place for our children, grandchildren and all future generations. Just imagine!
After evaluating an old collection, for sale in Beeville, John and I spent the rest of the afternoon on the Live Oak County roads, since they have had some rain lately. This specimen turned out to be a great surprise, as it was so dirty when I first spotted it, I believed it was simply a botryoidal chunk of George West type petrified wood - now for a better look!
This bluejay was trying to figure out how to leap down onto the side of the woodpeckers dining room...
This Cades Cove Crow was perched on a favorite fence post (I'm not sure I've seen crows perch on anything else in the cove.) and sees to be looking for drier lands off in the distance. I, on the other hand, was quite happy with the rain. I've been starting to really enjoy photographing wildlife on rainy days. So much added texture and behavior from the wildlife. Just need good bags for the lenses. :)

Look at the ball on the bottom right. The main reason for this long series of Xmas tree balls and lights is to practice and evaluate the quality of the bokeh of some of my vintage lenses. They can picture sometimes very pleasing backgrounds.
This was made with Jupiter 9, 85mm f2

This is part of a WIP That I might be able to complete with a couple of Bricklink orders. Hope you enjoy!
Last weekend I acquired a very inexpensive Kodak Retina 141, from 1939 (very close to end of production). It needed extensive restoration work done, which took me about 2 days to complete. This photo is from the test roll to evaluate its performance. I am continually impressed by the quality of these 80 year old Schneider lenses! (The Anastigmat EKTAR is exactly the same lens as Schneider's Xenar, its just that Kodak made them label the lenses as a Kodak product)
Ilford Pan F processed in BER49 (Atomal 49) for 7.5 minutes.
A small train in a vast landscape. All 12 axles of CN train O999 fit between the hills and curves north of Grainger, something that is normally not possible with the normal trains that traverse this subdivision.
A Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey is an unusual find in Gunnison, Colorado. Ship 166494 has the markings of USMC squadron MX-21. The Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 21 is based out of Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland. The "W" on the hill in the background is for the Western Colorado Mountaineers in Gunnison.
