W. Butcher & Sons Carbine nº 3a Quarter Plate folding camera with Aldis Uno Anastigmat f/7.7 (to f/45) set in a Lukos II shutter (25, 50, 100, B, T).
The camera has a dual back that accepts either 122 format film or a plate back. Both camera body and back have matching serial numbers (B42082). A wooden take-up 122 film spool (Kodak) is included.
The unit seems to date to roughly around World War I. A unit shown in a 1914 catalogue, which list this shutter and lens combination for the quarter plate format has minor differences, in particular the finger holds for pulling out the front standard.
A neat touch is a small padded section on the front door that protects the lens when the camera is closed
The camera carries the model name (Carbine Nº 3a) embossed into the leather handle, but is badged with a metal tag reading "Carbine J.W.Small Australia" on one side and on the other carries the metal tag "T.A. Dickson Photographic Stores Geelong".
J.W. Small was a 'camera supply store' in business from about 1871 to the 1920s, with successors operating until after World War II. At the time this camera was distributed, J.W. Small had stores in Sydney and Melbourne.
T.A. Dickson was a chemist in Geelong who sold photographic supplies in quantities, but it would appear as a side-line to his pharmaceutical interests.

The scale is rather confusing to use, you have to tap it with your foot and wait a few seconds before you can step onto them. How is it possible to screw up the user experience on a bathroom scale? Bosch needs an angry mail.
This is 1:500 full scratch built diorama titled "Crisis Times".
The coin is Japanese five yen with 22mm(approx. 0.9") diameter.
These scales were made by Effem and are marked "Made in Western Germany US Zone," which dates them from 1945 to 1949.
A view of my micro scale ancient city scape. i did it for my 6th grade eastern cultures class, and i've kept it ever since. O, the little pellets are the people. here's a little guide:
tan- soldiers
gray-regular civilians
brown-beggars
blue-children
black-pickpockets and theives
dark grey-tax collectors
crimson-queen's hand maidens
anyone with extra studs-royalty or wealthy
slanted pieces-preists

I've drawn the outline of the 40 foot figure on the side of the studio building. it comes near to the top.
___
- Marco told me that they couldn't set up the 40 foot figure inside the studio. he said the head would barely fit inside the dome but the rafters would interfere with the shoulders and the left arm.
Ap. 29, 2010-
- Lloyd says it is a little smaller than the building.
- the building is shaped like an airplane hanger but there is no big door on the other side. it was a Navy warehouse, probably.
- for scale, that's my beautiful red car- a gift from my Mother.

When it's not escorting helium cars this usaf hopper can be spotted moving loads of sand or ballast on the USAF's property on Cape Canaveral. This load of sand was dredged from the various waterways of the facility allowed to dry and then transported to individual launch complexes for use in/on the complex's blast house.
Just my shot at creating an imaginary scenario as a description
In reality sand was dredged but the dredged sand was used to create the land that the titan 3's launch complex sits on
Yipee! My flickr friend nebulon9 has sent a replacement pair of scales for my Swiss Army Knife all the way from Sacramento in California. That's the power of flickr :-)
If you get a chance to visit Hoover Dam, make sure you check this Bronze Sculpture of High Scaler who built this dam. I have done quite a bit of rock climbing years ago and after seeing what kind of harness these guys used, makes me wonder the kind of working condition they were in. I can't imagine hanging in one these primitive support system in hours at scorching dessert heat. These folks were tough like a nail, no doubt!

when I think of something big, I always think of the ocean so when we had to find something very big to compare to something small, I knew what I wanted to do. Also, when you think of something small you think of children. I think the little girl looks really small compared to the never ending ocean and she stands out from the blue background dressed in red. I think that if I could capture more of the sea in a panorama, she would have looked even smaller but I didn't want to include the islands in the background because I thought they were distracting.
