Ahh! I love they each have their own water thing... it looks so funny. I was sad to take them off, they were cute. :(
I purposely shot this photo for its tricky exposure. I blotted out the sun with as many branches as possible, and shot the photo.
Despite the half blinding light, the camera did fine on exposures.
Remember, this camera uses a selenium meter to set aperture and shutter speed. The strength of the sun probably helped the weaker selenium cell. Make you wonder how well it could have done 50 years ago.
This was the second location of the legendary Crawford Grill jazz club. The grill was owned by baseball owner Gus Greenlee (known for signing Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson and also for building the first black-owned ballpark), and almost every jazz musician of note played at the grill at one point or another, as the Hill District was a booming cultural crossroads between New York and Chicago. Famous Pittsburgh jazz musicians include Billy Strayhorn, Billy Eckstine, Erroll Garner, Earl Hines, Paul Chambers, Ray Brown, Art Blakey, Ahmad Jamal, Stanley Turrentine, Mary Lou Williams, Lena Horne, and Roy Eldridge.

On the way from Lvov to Kiev.
Grandmother and son were traveling all the way to Moskow.
I made friends with this little fella who had the "convertible" 2nd floor bed right opposite to mine.
I was the only tourist on the train so I soon had his amused attention with all my baggage and gear and the fact that I didn't have a clue on how the beds worked.
Plus he got fascinated with my old fashioned camera so I let him snap a few photos of me in exchange of taking his portrait. We "talked" a bit on this 10 hours ride (in VERY broken russian and the occasional english word or two), I showed him some juggling tricks and we shared my ear-plugs while listening to some balkan tunes from my mp3-player.

Temple II was built shortly after 700 CE. It stands opposite Temple I in a twin pyramid arrangement. It is 38 meters (125 ft) high; it would be the same height as Temple I if its roof comb was still intact. It also is known as Temple of the Mask for the two eroded masks that flank the central stairway. In view is the back side of the pyramid--the wooden structure allows visitor to climb to the top for superb views of the Great Plaza.
Tikal is one of the grandest sites of the Maya civilization, located in Guatemala's northern rainforest lowlands. While some of the monumental architecture at the site dates back as far as the 4th century BCE, Tikal reached its apogee during the Classic Period (about 200-900 CE). At its peak, the city covered an area greater than 16 square kilometers (6.2 sq miles), included about 3,000 structures, and may have had as many as 90,000 inhabitants. During this time, the city dominated much of the Maya region politically, economically, and militarily, while interacting with other states throughout Mesoamerica. Tikal gradually lost both population and influence after 850, and by 950 the city was mostly deserted.
Figures in these reliefs from King Ashur-nair-pal II's palace sometimes show headbands and wrist bands decorated with rosettes.When worn by genies they may identify them as personal attendants of the king/ The rosette may have been associated with the goddess Ishtar.

1940s (East) German Peerflekta II
stuck/gummed-up shutter :(
This was my my step-mom's father's (my step-grandpa, if you will). He bought it just after World War II and used it into the '50s. Then boxed it away for decades. Unfortunately, it wasn't stored well and by the time it got to me, everything was stuck and it was filled with mold. So, i cleaned and exercised it and most everything started working ok.
The first mistake i made was attempting to clean the mirror, which pretty-much completely removed the mirrored coating and left me with a just a peice of glass and an extremely dim viewfinder. But it still worked.
The 2nd and fatal mistake was attempting to repair the shutter. All of it's spring-loaded timing shutters were stuck (which left me with just 1/25, 1/50, and 1/200 of a second to shoot with). So, i did some exploratory surgery to get a good look at the clockwork mechanisms. and everything seemed it order so i added a couple drops of electric-shaver oil and exercised the lower shutter speeds. For about 30 seconds it worked perfectly, then the oil oozed onto the shutter blades and gummed the whole damn thing up. now it doesn't function at all and i haven't messed with it since.
sad.
