First you must plant the seed, then you must wait for it to grow into something beautiful.

“To love. To be loved.
To never forget your own insignificance.
To never get used to the unspeakable violence
and the vulgar disparity of life around you.
To seek joy in the saddest places.
To pursue beauty to its lair.
To never simplify what is complicated
or complicate what is simple.
To respect strength, never power.
Above all, to watch.
To try and understand.
To never look away.
And never, never, to forget.”

THESE ARE TESTS - NOT BRICKARMS PRODUCTION ITEMS
Catsy asked if I could make a custom stand for his gaming sessions. He uses 1" hex positioning maps, and Lego minifigs as PCs (Player Characters), and needed something that he could mount a minifig, and also allow him to use 1x1 plates or tiles as scoring markers
Three days later, the Hex Stand was born on the CNC.
It is 100% injection molded, and the grip is very secure on the minifig's feet.
I'll have a limited number of these to SHOW at BrickCon, and Catsy will have plenty for his Flickr stream and gaming, as soon as he stops by to pick them up. :)
Test prints from the ReclaimIt salvaged Polaroid 600 Blue Frog instant camera.
Gleaned Polaroid OneStep 600 Auto Focus, cleaned, tested and on sale now at ReclaimIt!
The camera came from the dump, loaded with a pack of old Polaroid film, the vintage stuff. I have since transferred that film into a cassette with working batteries. I hope to share the results of that experiment soon.
37418 approaching Crewe with a Derby RTC - Holyhead - Derby test train. 37421 was bringing up the rear. That Gorse bush is obviously hard as nails, still flowering after days of near freezing conditions. 12th February 2021.
First public share of a test shot from my new old FujiFilm X-E1 and Meike 35mm f/1.7
It was pretty dark hence the shot is not perfectly sharp, I am discovering 'no ibis' time again. The picture is not touched by editing software, SOOC.
I think I must spend some time to get used to manual focusing and shutter speeds similar to what I had when shooting film.
I really like the bokeh of that Meike. It's pleasant, not disturbing.
