Photos from early 2005 in Key West Florida. I stayed at Atlantic Shores in Key West for 3 months from 26th December 2004 thru to the end of March 2005. Had some great fun and met some great people from all over the USA and world
The We're Here! gang is showing our keys today.
This is the key bowl by my entrance. It sits on a darling little table that my friends Val and John gave me. It's actually supposed to be a birdbath, but I thought it was too nice to put in the garden. LOL The bowl is from Fred's trip to Cambodia.

My father-in-law's old typewriter. I remember using an old Royal typewriter to bang out notes for biology tests in junior high school. I truly prefer the soft touch keyboards of the modern age.
Key stone correction is important to me if it is important to my client.
If I know I have to correct key stoning, I use a 4x5 view camera with its shift feature or the shift feature of my Nikon 28mm f/4 perspective control lens.
It makes no difference if I am using my 4x5 view camera or my Fuji mirrorless, I prefer making my corrections in the camera rather than relying on editing software to make corrections.
When using a camera and/or a lens that does not have the shift feature needed to eliminate key stoning, I may ...
1. Use editing software to make corrections.
2. Back far enough away from the building so that I don’t have to tilt the camera to get the entire building in the photo.
3. Use a wide-angle lens to get the entire building in the photo without tilting the camera.
4. Elevate the camera position to half the height of the building by...
a. standing on the roof or balcony of a nearby building.
b. standing on the roof of my van.
c. rent or borrow a cherry picker or a scissor lift.
d. use a long pole to elevate the camera and use a remote application for composition and shutter release.
e. use a camera on a drone.
These two photos were taken on different days, with different cameras, and different lenses. The topimage was taken with a Canon compact digital and a zoom lens. The bottom image second was taken with a Fuji X-Pro1 and a Nikon f/4 shift lens. The shift feature was used to correct key stoning.
Great-niece, Harriet (10) and great-nephew, Ewan (13). Show 'em a camera and they strike a pose.
*(Don't know if this is true high-key or not as I've not tried it before. Shot outdoors from low POV to include sky background in very hazy sunlight)

Each night the crowds gather around Mallory Square in Key West to see street performers and watch the sunset. If you're lucky, you can get a find an unobstructed view of the sunset from the dock, or get a long lens to zoom over the shoulder of whoever is in front of you. For this shot, it was the former.

Heritage
To pay tribute to the long story of success that began in 1910, one only has to look at the Alfa Romeo Duetto to view the creativeness of Italian coachbuilders and Alfa Romeo styling. With elemental design that continues to impress, after almost a century of elegance sportiness, the perfectly balanced design of Alfa Romeo continues today. Considered to be technological masterpieces from the epic age of the motor, these unforgettable vehicles have captured the imagination of car enthusiasts all over the world. Both the Duetto and Giulietta are considered to be iconic Italian products of the Fifties and Sixties.
The name 'Duetto' was suggested by Mr. Giudobaldo Trionfi of Brescia, during a competition launched by Alfa Romeo in 1966 to find a name for the 1600 Spider. For his suggestion, Trionfi was rewarded the competition prize, the keys to the new Spider by Alfa Romeo president Luraghi. Closely related to the Giulia range, based on a Giulia 105 series chassis, the Spider was launched in 1966.
Pininfarina, an Italian coachbuilder was also responsible for the Duetto's monocoque, or unibody, construction. With relatively new principles of crumple zones incorporated into both the front and rear, the Duetto was a design marvel. A variant of the Alfa Romeo's twin camshaft, 4-cylinder, DOHC engine capable of generating up to 109 horsepower, the Duetto had a power-plant of 1570 cc. When originally launched in Italy, the price of the Duetto was 2,195,000 lire.
Three models of this vehicle were loaded onto the ship 'Raffaello' in May of 1966, in preparation for launch in the U.S. Unfortunately the Duetto was never officially imported into the UK. The 'Duetto' Spider has achieved success that has spanned across the ocean. This popular status was most likely enhanced by the Duetto's appearance in the 1967 American film 'Graduate' starring Dustin Hoffman. A ‘Graduate' version of the Duetto was also produced and available for a limited time in the U.S.
The Duetto was created by G.B. Pininfarina in 1966. A masterpiece as well as an icon, the Duetto was an elegant vehicle that continued in production all the way up to 1994 with very few stylistic and technical changes. Buyers who wanted to be noticed, but without flashy ostentation, the Duetto was vehicle of choice.
Keeping true to the collective global image of Alfa Romeo, the Duetto carried the classic characteristics that made these vehicles legendary. The Duetto also carries the distinction of being the final car the Pininfarina designed, as he died just one month following the Duetto's introduction in March of 1966.
Produced for only two years, the Duetto's rarity is indisputable. The symmetrical front and rear are drawn together with an aerodynamic profile with a dramatic blood trough down the sides. The stylish body showcased bumpers mounted into both the front and rear wings, along with an alluring grille set just beneath the front bumper.Coming very close to being a street-worthy show car, the Duetto's side concavity appeared later in a muted form on the Daytona Ferrari. Slightly ahead of the current market in 1966, the Duetto came with an all-alloy 1600cc engine, five-speed gearbox, twin cams and 4-wheel disc brakes.
Devoid of most creature comforts, the Duetto is basically an ideal minimalist sport car that is usable in all climates. The main drawback of the interior was the straight-arm, bent-knee posture characteristic of most Alfa Spiders, though the interior of the vehicle is roomy and quite comfortable. In fair compensation, the Duetto carries one of the most robust power-trains that Alfa has ever produced.
Achieving close to cult-car status, the Duetto today is a highly sought-after collectible. The Duetto was eventually replaced by the 1750 Spider Veloce, with its more powerful 1779 cc engine powered by 118 horsepower. The North American market received Spica mechanical fuel injection while in Europe the Veloce was fitted with two twin carburetors. Though the vehicle looked basically the same, updates and modifications were made to the suspension, brakes, electrics, wheels and tires.
A total of 6,325 units were produced from 1967 until 1968. Though the Duetto was produced for only 12 months, the impact of its production is undeniably stamped in the history of Alfa Romeo.
One of the all-time greats in the Alfa Romeo line-up, the Duetto has achieved the status of a true Sports Car in the traditional sense. Putting to shame the indistinguishable, fast depreciating Japanese and German efficient marvels, the Duetto had an elegant style and charm of good-breeding.
Unquestionably one of the most beautiful cabriolet designs ever, the Pininfarina-penned roadster the Graduate was intended as a less expensive 'entry-level' Alfa. Introduced in 1985, the Graduate continued in the North American market until 1990. Minus the alloy wheels and the luxury options that the QV and SV had, it shared the same engine and transmission. Standard options included steel wheels, basic vinyl seats, a vinyl top and manual windows.
