Camera manufacturers have always loved to promise they have made something "automatic." You have to be careful because the meaning of automatic can vary wildly depending on the era.
At times it means that your rollfilm camera will exactly space and count off successive frames as you wind the film, no red window squinting required.
In the era when SLR cameras were gaining ground, the problem was that you want your lens at its widest aperture for the brightest viewing and focusing, but need to close down to an aperture giving the correct exposure just before before the shutter opens.
One of the more harebrained way of achieving this is to move the shutter release onto a little outrigger sprouting off the lens, so the finger pressure of firing the shutter can be mechanically linked to stopping down the lens opening. The plunger you press extends through and makes contact with the camera body's actual shutter release, which must face forward. This is called PAD, and it looks so adorably archaic that I know someday I will need to own one of these beasts.
But there is something verrry puzzling about that Pentacon!
The sliding door of the former Eckerd at the Henderson Boulevard Shopping Center.
The plaza has been around since the 1950s. At one time or another, it also held a Belk-Lindsey and a U-Save. After near total vacancy and a renovation, it now houses a Fresh Market and a few small shops.

Very likely the first time I have seen a BMW 2002 in the flesh. At least since I have been car spotting.
Saw this in North Van while visiting a friend.
It was rusty but a true survivor.
Earlier this year, the Midtown Plaza was renovated, which included a revamp of the underground parking lot and its entrances. In this case, old NABCO doors were replaced with doors from Stanley Access Technologies. That was disappointing.

"The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

At this angle, the waves are much less pronounced - one of the things I love about this watch is how it looks different at different angles. This is the watch I wear most often, it's getting a bit beat up.
In 2012, the Shoppers Drug Mart store at Preston Crossing in Saskatoon unexpectedly closed. Since its closure, it is now being turned into a new Mark's store, or becoming part of an expanded Mark's store. What's going to happen is unclear. However, what will happen is that these doors will likely be removed. The automatic sliding doors inside the store have since been removed.
