Somewhat hard to find f3.2 lens on a Konica Autoreflex A. Many prefer this lens over the faster f2.5. She does need a cleaning but I can tell this is going to be my favorite portrait lens. :) As with nearly all early 70's lenses, this came with a hardshell case. Shown on Konica Autoreflex A camera.
Early 70’s Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, although not quite certain of the actual year. Anywhere from 1970’s to 72. More a of a player guitar than a collector.
Even though it’s a great sounding guitar the originality of it has been tainted by modifications to the pickups and the tuners, much like many people in the early seventies that bought these guitars, routed out the pickup cavities for bigger humbuckers.
The front pickup looks to be a Gibson, followed by a Dimarzio bridge pickup – dual sound or PAF. The Bridge tail piece was also changed, a toggle switch was added at some point but is currently disconnected and it gets it the way of playing so removing it would be a better idea.
The Headstock was changed for Grover tuners, a common practice in the seventies, it also comes with a three piece Maple top, Sandwich Body, Hardware has been changed to gold Hardware, Rosewood Fret board with original frets.
This Guitar is a great playing Les Paul with a lot of vibe and a reasonable price tag this one is definitely for you!
A hardshell case is also included

Case Taylor Deluxe Hardshell
No longer in production -- which mystifies me -- the Artcore AG85 was intended to fit squarely between the AG75 and AG95 in terms of features and looks. Basically, it looks and feels like an AG95, but without the gold-plated hardware. This is the guitar that I specifically wanted. Gold plating doesn't last very long with me. My sweat is somewhat on the corrosive side and unfortunately it tends to make short work of gold plating. All the more reason why I prefer chrome, which is much more durable.
[Edit: These comments refer specifically to the earlier model of the AG85. Ibanez made quite a few changes to it for the 2013 model, most of them cheapening moves to keep it at the same price point. Gone are the abalone inlays in the headstock and wood inlay in the tailpiece. The abalone has been replaced by what looks like silkscreen and the tailpiece is a bent wire affair with no more inlay. On the plus side, though, the newer model gets the Super 58 pickups]
The wood used in this guitar's construction is Bubinga, an African hardwood with a lot of figure and a reddish cast. I was rather surprised to realize I could hear the difference this wood makes in the sound of the instrument, especially since it's laminated. But all the laminates must be bubinga as well. It adds a rather complex and textured "woody" sound to the guitar that I am very fond of.
This AG85 plays like an absolute dream, plus it's got that deep body for a full jazz-guitar sound. The body is not as large as some jazz guitars. In fact, it reminds me somewhat of the George Benson models that Ibanez produces, its shape loosely based on the Gibson Les Paul's, albeit larger in dimensions than the solid-body Les Paul. And I happen to like this shape. This slightly smaller body compared to other hollow-body jazz guitars doesn't detract from the sound at all, but makes the guitar a bit less cumbersome and easier to handle.
I was not surprised to see that my AG85 was made in China. But I was surprised at the excellent quality of the fit and finish. I build guitars, so I pay attention to certain things when I look at other guitars. And let me just say this guitar's craftsmanship is equal to that of guitar that cost thousands of dollars more.
Oh, another difference between the AG85 and AG95 is the pickups. The AG85 gets the same ACH pickups that are found in the AG75. The AG95 has a set of pickups that are supposedly better -- the Custom 58s. The ACH pickups have ceramic magnets, whereas the Custom58s' magnets are alnico. Yes, alnico is better than ceramic. It will always be better than ceramic. But when you find out what sort of tones you can extract from this instrument, suddenly criticism of the pickups gets lost in the sounds you'll be getting when you play this guitar. You can't have mine, though. You're gonna have to get your own. One of the best things about this guitar was the resale price. I bought mine used from Guitar Center for $200, which included a very nice hardshell case. Just an unbelievably good deal.
Spotted at the Popcorn Park Zoo, Fork-ed (thanks, tschopper!) River, NJ.
I'm coming to end of processing all of these animal photos. But I like this one for a couple of reasons. For one, who can't love that face. This guy was under a cover for most of the time we were watching him. We moved on and saw other animals as the zoo and then we passed him again on the way out.
I had Olivia in my arms, and the camera in my right hand. She was getting a little cranky from being tired and out in the sun. We were ready to pack in in. But Old Man started coming out and I had to try to get another shot of this gorgeous ceature. I brought the camera up to my eye one-handed, couldn't really adjust the focus and fired off a few snaps. And this was one of them.
In his book, The Moment It Clicks Joe McNally says "Don't pack up your camera until you've left the location." Such was the case here. I knew we were leaving, baby was cranky in one arm and hanging off me. I could have shut the rig down and called it a day.
I'm glad I didn't. Thanks for the advice, Joe.
Old Man, large.

I started putting stickers on this case 8 years ago now. Most are falling off now, but I don't feel punk rock enough to go out, get more stickers, and cover up the case again. At one point, I had played with (or recorded (or been in)) every band on this case.

Here is what it looks like with the original cardboard insert spray painted black with a can of black truck bed liner spray paint. Looks like it was made for it even more now.
I got to test this jacket out the other day while fishing. from what I have read about the event fabric it is wind proof up to 60 MPH and It was extremely windy I just don't know exactly how windy but the jacket blocked 100% of what I was getting hit with. no real rain or snow to speak of just the occasional lite sleet which the jacket also blocked, then again it was so lite just about anything would have kept me dry.
I did poor some water over the fabric to make a puddle on one of the zippers and left it for 30 mins with no penetration through the fabric or zipper. looking to get some more time in the jacket for a better review.
Here is another angle of what it looks like with the original cardboard insert spray painted black with a can of black truck bed liner spray paint. Looks like it was made for it even more now.
for $32 a WHOLE heck of a lot better than the original box! Thanks to gr8wing for the idea to do this!

50 Shades of red lobsters.
What Color are Lobsters really?
Lobsters come in many different colors because of the pigment chromatophores in their shells. When they are cooked, all the pigments are masked except for astaxanthin, the red background pigment. The red pigment is the most stable component of the coloring in a lobster. The greens and browns which darken the shell in a live lobster are destroyed by the cooking process.
Fishermen have been known to bring in blue, yellow, red and spotted live lobsters. Usually, when lobsters are hard-shelled, their shells are a darker color. Also, when you cook hard-shell lobsters, their shells will turn a brick red color and sometimes black. Whereas soft-shelled lobsters, when cooked, are a bright red color.
