The latest typewriter in my small stable. This is an exact version (make, model, color, case) of the very first typewriter I ever owned as a kid. Snagged from eBay, arrived today, and I am getting huge waves of nostalgia just looking at it. Typing on it nearly brought tears. I need help.

A Kodak Signet 40 35mm camera. Kodak f/3.5 46mm Ektanon triplet lens. Kodak Synchro 400 shutter (1/5 through 1/400 second). Rangefinder focusing. Pin-and-screw connection for Kodalite flash attachments.
Finally I get to see and photograph a signet! In real life! The funny thing is, to me at least, is that I roam around parks and lakes in New Jersey looking for wildlife. And I have to go to New York City to find these. Went to Coney Island and this family of swans was swimming around in the stream behind the parking lot. They were obviously fed by someone as evidenced by the bag of bread hanging on the fence and the size of the male. He was HUGE. Borderline obese. Biggest freaking swan I've ever seen. He was greedy too, he was hogging all the bread and even hissing at the babies if they tried to get some.
