What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new.
Right now.

This photo was taken a few minutes after my latest pullip photo. 8D The light is very different, isn't it?
This is my twin sister. She was derping around with her Canon EOS 600D. 8'D
It has a movable screen! I think that's pretty cool and useful for self portraits.
I don't know if you can see it but she is smiling like ... I don't even know. xD
Well, I realized my chance and took a snapshot of her. I enjoyed the editing a lot. I've always wanted to create a grainy photo.
What light through yon window breaks? Hey, it's the sun! Had some great natural light in the office today. Took five minutes to sunbathe a few older beauties.
the camera photographs what's there.

The light was amazing the other morning when I took this.Coupled with where the flare happened to be made me happy.
Very handy for macro photos out in the sunshine. Will now live on perched against a digital camera (with adaptation). No meter coupling, no batteries. Long live the mechanical photo gadgets, may they ever reign supreme.

This is the "Photo Master" camera. It is a simple point-and-shoot roll film camera which was made by the "Monarch Manufacturing Company" of Chicago Illinois USA around 1940. This is one of the many models of inexpensive pocket-sized cameras produced by the Monarch Company during the 1930s, 40s and early 1950s.
The chassis itself is made entirely out of thick black molded bakelite, and is a common chassis design for low-priced pocket cameras produced during that era. It closely resembles the "Dasco", "Majestic", "Waldorf" and "Churchill", also produced by Monarch. Like the "Churchill" and the "Dasco" this camera was marketed as an inexpensive compact "candid minicam" camera. The only difference between the various models is the name printed on the front circular faceplate, because of this they are often referred to by collectors as "doughnut cameras". Monarch basically re-released the exact same camera under various names, without having to make design changes. This lowered production costs, which intern allowed Monarch to sell their cameras at a lower price. Monarch would even release cameras such as the "Dick Tracy" and "Brenda Starr Club Reporter" under the brand name of the "Seymour Products Company".
The camera features a built-in optical viewfinder with a metal face plate located on the front. The shutter mechanism is a simple fixed speed rotary/disc type shutter, and features two different exposure settings; "INST" (instant) and "TIME". The camera would have originally used "Vest Pocket Film" or "A8" (127 film) and would have made sixteen exposures (4 by 6.5 cm frames) on a standard roll of 127 film. The rear cover is the camera is clips onto the main chassis via two metal tabs and features two green exposure number viewing windows. The lens on the camera is a simple meniscus lens.
Got my old Fred Flintstone camera out for World Toy Camera Day 2014. Actually it is the first time I have shot with it. I had to reload 35mm film into a 126 cassette to have something to expose in it. Images to follow........maybe....... the back popped open twice, hoping for just one.
You think it is hard enough to get any respect shooting film, try shooting with Fred.
Camera made in Taiwan for Foto-Quelle , a German retailer of photographic equipment (1987 - ... ) . Compact , automatic camera with built-in flash , for 35 mm film .
Dropping a few grand on a Rolleflex is fine if you can afford it, but if not, most pros will tell you that this is almost as good, and for a 10th of the cost.

The following quote is from the Camerapedia page for Rokuoh-Sha :
"Early cameras were produced by artisan subcontractors, such as Hasegawa Toshinosuke (長谷川利之助) and Tōjō Kamejirō (東条亀次郎). The company (Honten Konishi Rokuemon, 本店小西六右衞門) founded a manufacturing branch called Rokuoh-sha (六桜社) in 1902, and released the Cherry in 1903, the first Japanese camera to have a brand name. The factory of Hasegawa Toshinosuke became the wood workshop of Rokuoh-sha in 1906. Most of the camera production was still assumed by other subcontractors, many of which were merged into Rokuoh-sha in 1919."
Given the maker's plate R.Konishi, it is certain that the camera dates to pre 1919. While the camera has some similarity with the field cameras produced by Rokuoh-sha for the Japanese Navy in the late 1920s and 1930s, all of these Navy cameras use Hexar Series I lenses, and the design of the front standard is very different. The camera shown above has clear design similarities with an Asanuma King. This is not surprising, however, if we consider that the artisan Tōjō Kamejirō (東条亀次郎), who had made cameras for Asanuma, from 1890 (also?) worked for Konishi Honten.
The Rokuoh-sha History Website shows this camera as the Special Thin Portable Camera (特別製薄形携帯用暗函) introduced in Meiji 27 (1894). Reading the chronology at the site (with translation via honyaku.yahoo.co.jp), it seems the camera was made artisan subcontractors, most likely by Tōjō Kamejirō (東条亀次郎) for the woodwork and by Takashi Korudairō (黒田宗次郎) for the metal parts.
Further below are two images of the Special Thin Portable Camera linked in from the Rokuoh-sha History Website.
It is at present unclear how long the camera model was in production.
If the lens is the original lens that was bought with the camera, and there is at present no reason to assume that it was not (as the wood of the lensboard seems the same), then we can surmise that the camera was produced between 1908 and 1919. The Wollensak Versar Portrait & View 5 x 7 f6 , an 'Extra Rapid Rectilinear'-type lens, is listed in the Catalogue and Price List of Wollensak Photographic Shutters and Lenses (Wollensak Optical Company, Rochester, N.Y. USA) for 1912-13, p. 10; for 1916-17, p. 12, as well as for 1919, p. 26, but not yet in 1906-07 and no longer in 1922.
This is my new old camera, a Canon 5D Mark I, which I picked up yesterday. I'm at least its third owner, and I'm very happy to give it a new home.
I shot my new baby with my beloved Olympus Pen E-PL5. The Pen is marvelous; a compact camera with great build and image quality. Being a micro four-thirds system, there are adaptors for basically any camera mount out there, so the choice for glassware is crazy. Still, I wanted another interchangeable lens system, as possible backup and something different to try, so my search began.
I had narrowed by choices down to 3 cameras; an used Canon 5D Mark I, an used Nikon D7000, and a new Pentax K50. I decided to go with the 5D after weighing my personal list of pros and cons of each candidate. A deciding factor is that I love the full-frame from shooting film, so I thought it would be nice to have a full-frame DSLR. Of course I've always wanted a full-frame DSLR, but never thought I could really afford one, but then I discovered how "relatively" cheap the Mark I's were in comparison to other full-frames out there.
I didn't want to spend more than $600 Canadian dollars for a body and decent lens, so this was in my opinion a great deal for $430 ($325US or 290Euros). The body was $400 and the photographer who sold it to me threw the EF 50mm F1.8 II for $30. The camera also came with the battery charger, four batteries, an 8 GB CF card and a card reader. He said the lens had a flaw, which turned out to be a smudge that I was able to clean, so the lens is pretty much perfect. The camera is pretty clean too, maybe a sensor cleaning in a bit, but I think I'll get some good and fun use out of it.
