Category B. F.T. Mix N’ Match 1
Traditional Mix N’ Match: put a doll in an outfit from the opposite time era.
Midge was wearing “All Decked Out” set from Barbie Millicent Roberts Collection. I added the hat (don’t recall where it came from) and a cell phone
The Kodak Self Timer is a pneumatic device for delayed activation of the camera shutter via a release cable. The head of the piston of the timer is pushed down to accomodate the head of the cable . The delay can be regulated by turning the knurled screw of the piston to the left or the right . The device is fired by pushing the small trigger on the edge of the metal cap .The hook can serve to 'hang' the device on the camera .
The first timer on the left was the tiny game timer used during the first few years of field testing Synapse. It was sent to me by a contractor that worked with DeLano company in MI. DeLano is a printing company that has developed a business with game companiess. Originally, I thought I was going to be working with them to produce the game. I always knew that the small timer just wouldn't work for the game I had in mind. When I connected with Leisure, I found other contacts to make the game. Second from the left is the clay model, followed by the electronic unit which was just a "works like" model. When all the corrections were made, the prototype timer at the right was produced.
Shot with the timer. The light was terrible and the autotimer was the only way I could get a clear, non-flash shot.

I bought a Princess of Korea doll on the cheap years ago. I pulled down her hair, redressed her and had planned to take photos then redo the hair. It never happened. Years later her box is taking up room in my closet and I decide I should finally take those shots and put her back together. You can NEVER get a doll's hair back the same way but I figure this is adequate. A decoration is missing from her head and I can't find her shoes. They will turn up later, I supose.

In the first steps of my writing process. Here I jot down the first ideas for my Definition Essay of "Flickr". First time using this social networking app! #newbie #firsttimeonhere #imaninstagramuser #thisisforcollege
IGE*TIMER performance at the 2009 Sonic Circuits festival of experimental music, 26sept09. Velvet Lounge, Washington DC.
This is an old timey photo of 4 adventurers travelling down the old mule trails through the forest. (long since improved surface) Check the antique safety gear on Pete.
Actor - won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1936, 1938, and 1940 and is thus one of the three men who have each won three Academy Awards for acting (the other two being Jack Ndicholson and Daniel Day-Lewis).
Throughout his career, Brennan was frequently called upon to play characters considerably older than he was. The loss of many teeth in a 1932 accident, rapidly thinning hair, thin build, and unusual vocal intonations all made him seem older than he really was. He used these features to great effect. In many of his film roles, Brennan wore dentures; in Northwest Passage – a film set in the late 18th century – he wore a dental prosthesis which made him appear to have rotting and broken teeth.
From 1957 to 1963, he starred in the ABC television series The Real McCoys, a situation comedy about a poor West Virginia family that relocated to a farm in Southern California. After five years on ABC, The Real McCoys switched to CBS for a final season.
Brennan appeared in several other movies and television programs, usually as an eccentric old-timer or prospector. He also made a few recordings, the two most popular being "Old Rivers" (about an eccentric but much-beloved farmer) and "Dutchman's Gold" (about a legendary gold miner in the Superstition Mountains pf Arizona).
Having a real kitchen timer will be frustrating to everybody in the office. Instead, I keep my phone docked and use an iPhone application. Apart from tracking how many Pomodori I have done, it times the breaks, which I find very useful
this is probs the most remote a place i've ever been* (i wont geotag places unless i can get in within a hundred meters, but it's somewhere northeast of here.)
40 years ago that fella was chopping heads off of neighbouring village members. he seemed quite pleasant when i met him thankfully.
wow... flickr's great. just done a search and can now tentatively say this is Shangnyu Village. I recognise those, errr, statues a mile away! Geotagged :)
(*not including the jungles of manipur, india which i passed through as quick as pos due to the large numbers of men holding ak47's demanding payment of a 'tax'. i definitely wasn't going to get my camera out there!)
Canon TLb with FD 1.8/50 (chrome nose)
Another chunk from the early seventies (1972), some years before plastification, electronification and miniaturisation got in, and it has a combat weight of more than 1 kg. The TLb is the little sister of the FTb (1971), and it was reduced by the hot shoe, the top shutter speed (1/500 s instead of 1/1000 s), the mirror lock-up, the shutter button lock, the QL quick-load system, the battery check, the exposure meter on/off-switch and the self-timer. What looks like a self-timer lever is just for depth-of-field preview.
The letter "b" indicates, that TLb and FTb were updates of the TL and FT, it marks also the transition from the Canon FL lens mount to the FD lens mount. The older FL mount has an automatic aperture, but was only capable of stop-down metering. The FD mount is capable of open-aperture metering and it is also prepared for shutter priority automatic exposure, visible by an "o" (later "A") on the f-stop ring. The FD mount is highly sophisticated, e.g. you can't set "o" on the f-stop ring, if the camera doesn't have an automatic exposure mode, the setting is required for. FL and FD lenses and cameras were compatible, but of course FL lenses on FD cameras and FD lenses on FL cameras give always stop-down metering.
The first generation of FD cameras was a circle around the F-1, Canon's attempt to enter the market for professional photographers. It offers interchangeable viewfinders and the option for a motor drive. The EF is its little sister, with fixed prism finder and without connection for a motor drive, but with shutter priority AE. Beside the already mentioned FTb and TLb there is the FTbN (with shutter speeds indicated in the viewer) and the TX (a TLb with hot shoe).
But back to the TLb. For metering you have to align two needles in the viewfinder, the "aperture needle" (with an eye; "lollipop"-look) and the "meter needle". The aperture needle is directly coupled with the f-stop ring, the meter needle is coupled with the shutter speed dial (and therefor also with the film speed) and its position is also affected by the amount of light of course. If you are leaving the metering range, because it is to dark, a red flag will appear in the viewer. For stop-down metering, which is required when you are using FL lenses, you have to press the stop-down lever, then the aperture needle will decline completely. Then you must align the meter needle to the "meter index", a small tab in the display. In my opinion the exposure meter can't be switched off, so for saving battery power you'll have to cover the lens with the lens cap.
Some specs:
* shutter speeds from 1 s to 1/500 s and B
* ASA range from 25 to 2000
* X-sync is 1/60 s. I don't know how, but the TLb is prepared for using FP-bulbs.
* TTL metering with one CdS-cell, center-weighted
* one mercury cell 1.35 V type 625 is required (for metering only)
Some notes about the 1.8/50 lens above: it is a very early type of an FD lens, with chrome filter thread ("chrome nose") and without S.C. ("spectra coating") specification, and it differs a bit from later lenses.
* if the lens is unmounted, you can turn the breech lock ring into the "closed"-position without any tricks.
* there is no locking button for the automatic position on the f-stop ring (EE lock pin).
* if you want to use an FD lens with accessory which doesn't provide automatic aperture (e.g. bellows) you'll have to lock the aperture lever on the lens in "diaphragm-closed"-position (the same effect like the A/M-switch on M42-lenses). On later FD lenses that lever just clicks into position, the lens here has an extra locking lever.
* The built quality is outstanding. Certainly the most advanced lens mount for 35 mm SLRs of its time.
Mechanical timer built from a battery powered clock mechanism. it uses a wheel on an eccentric shaft to trigger the micro roller switch. The other two switches control the overall (master) output.
