Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all.
Oh, yes. It's another shot of me and my camera. Meet the new toy, Cherry Pop. In hindsight, I realize I should've just bought the nex-5 cos it can function with a remote. But I really really want a red one. Also I have the other big cam which works way better with remote since it has the screen that goes all the way around.
I'm justifying.
P.S. Yes, the mirror needs cleaning.
More pics in the outtakes.
Red Flag 20, Changhai No.2 Camea Factory China 1997.
The 1977 Red Flag 20 (Hong Qi 20 红旗20) is a Chinese copy of the Leica M4. Reportedly only 182 were made in a period from 1971 to 1976 when production officially ended. The cameras were made on the orders of Chiang Ching, the last wife of Mao Tzeo Dong. With the camera are a f=50mm 1:1.4, a f=35mm 1:1.4 and a f=90mm 1:2.0, all copies of Leitz lenses.

A low-cost Japanese camera made by Fuji (the leatherette on the back is stamped "Made by Fuji Photo Film Co."). The lens is a Fujinar 4.5cm f/3.5, three elements, and on the inside of the hinged back there is a small sticker recommending Fuji film.
Quite well made for a cheap camera. The shutter has 4 speeds (25-200) plus B, all working reasonably accurately, and the shutter is extremely quiet. The diaphragm has only 4 blades but moves easily with very little friction. And the front element focuses easily and smoothly after all these years (I'm guessing this camera was made in the late 1950's, before Fuji got serious about making good cameras).
But as was common with early 35's in the U.S.A., you have to push a small lever on the back after each exposure in order to release the winding mechanism (reminiscent of the Argus C-3 of the 1940's). The sprocket is in the film tracks and is not geared to the winding knob. And you have to set the frame counter to zero yourself. And you have to cock the shutter yourself (with the left hand side of the black rocker arm) and you release the shutter with the right hand side of the rocker arm. Both operations are easy enough to do using the forefingers of both hands while you hold the camera.
There is no double exposure prevention, so you can easily make double exposures with this camera. You just cock the shutter again and fire. I am anxious to try this camera with film. I am always motivated when a camera requires special effort to obtain results.
The camera was photographed on a hand-embroidered Hungarian tablecloth from the 1950's.
I'm not sure what the collective noun for them all would be, but I've been busy making batches of things!
It's particularly satisfying finishing these camera brooches, as they're made up of lots of different details.
What is a camera for? What indeed is a photograph? What the hell is art? Shall we continue with the questions?
In painting, the Impressionists first started messing with "reality" in the late 19th century. And then things really got going with Picasso and Braque and their Cubism. Meanwhile photography was desperately trying to establish its credentials as fine art through the work of Alfred Stieglitz and his circle.
As it so happens it was photographers who were at the centre of a new movement that would pull the rug out from the bottom of all the best theories of art. They took the name Dada, and it was a distinct reaction to the horrors of the first truly modern and technological conflict, The Great War of 1914-1918. magazine.artland.com/what-is-dadaism/
Two photographers were among the most creative members of the new movement: Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) and Man Ray (1890-1976). This would later spread out and merge with Surrealism, the Russian Constructivists and Conceptual Art. That's enough of the history to whet your appetite.
But why is this important? Well I think that the Dadaists were not only the first "artists" to call into question the nature of art, but essentially they were also the first moderns to question the nature of reality itself (well perhaps Einstein beat them to it in another field). The old "scientific" certainties were disappearing fast. When Neils Bohr and his Copenhagen school of Quantum physics emerged (at precisely the same time as Dada!), even Einstein could not go that far. But in fact the Quantum Theory is now the best available way we have of understanding "reality".
So the concept of photo montage was born. Putting together distinctly unrelated images to create a new photography - to MAKE a photograph rather than to simply TAKE one. Perhaps the most famous of all (though least controversial then) was Man Ray's image of a woman as a violin. roblangleyimages.wordpress.com/2013/04/28/making-meaning/
The Surrealists added a new dimension - the unconscious through the influence of Freud and Jung. All these traditions are worth exploring again in this age of digital photography where the internet universe is literally flooded with TAKEN images.
The French cultural theorist Roland Barthes (1915-1980) wrote perhaps his most influential book near the end of his life, and it was all about his (non-photographer's) perspective on the nature of a photograph. He called it "Camera Lucida" meaning from the Latin, "light chamber". But the Camera Lucida was also a device invented by William Hyde Wollaston in 1806 to assist artists to sketch the world. Remember that the pioneer of photography in Britain, Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) called photography "sketching with light".
Jamie Windsor does a wonderful job of presenting Roland Barthes' ideas about "Camera Lucida", so you'd do well to watch his presentation: "How to understand the PUNCTUM in PHOTOGRAPHY — Roland Barthes’ CAMERA LUCIDA"

My point here is to say that there is indeed a place for photo art or the "made photograph" (I showed you some of the work of leading Australian photo artist Anne Zahalka recently). My preference is for the hands-on cut-and-paste methods of the Dadaists - photo montage. Something that requires the artist to manually "construct" the image rather than simply to rely on ready-made apps to do the job (Duchamp would appreciate that pun).
* I should add that I took both photographs incorporated into this little montage. The man disappearing down the lens is from an image crafted by Iain McIntyre, Tiger By the Tail Designs in 2004. The meaning of this montage is for you to decide.

The kind of love that I have for cameras is reserved only for cameras. I don't find it anywhere else and I don't want to.
Leidolf Wetzlar! This camera’s 50mm f/3.8 lens and apparent top shutter speed of 1/200 seems very limiting, which may be part of the reason Leidolf wasn’t around for very long. With only three shutter speeds (plus bulb), no light meter and no way to check focus, it must have been maddening to take good photos with this camera.

I came in my room to find she had set up her library of books like this and was pretending to take pictures of them. I got the perfect shot.

My first digital camera, which I took apart a few years ago after it had totally died. The camera was released in 2000 and was a big 2 megapixels. Yep, 2. Here’s a review of the camera if you’re interested in taking a stroll down memory lane:

Our new hound hid behind the tree when he saw my camera.
He is a blue tick coonhound mix, so we named him "Blue." Very original.
The camera has a split image screen installed. It is the absolute best for manual focusing! It even indicates which way to rotate the focusing ring.
Sometimes it seems to me that I've got more film cameras than I've shot rolls. Srsly, it has to stop!
