Occasionally we photographers take an opportunity to capture one another. My friend Fred and I shared that experience.
Fred was an amazing friend. He had the knack of making everyone he knew feel special. He was a wonderful person, devoted husband and father, most excellent dance partner, respected gentleman, and all around good 'ol guy. Fred passed away yesterday. My heart is saddened. He will be dearly missed.

The camera obscura is a room that projects a view of the pier and beach into a dark room via a telescope on the roof of the building.
Appears to be a derivative of an early 1960's Yashica film camera. The look is very similar to the Yashica "J" of 1961.
I do not know much about this camera other than that. Very little information is available on the web.

I was taking some record shots of my latest batch of newly-acquired vintage cameras and decided on this one.
It's a Fujica AX-3 SLR film camera which arrived this week. I'm looking to make a collection of Fujicas and this is my 6th Fujica SLR

Rolleiflex is the name of a long-running and diverse line of high-end cameras originally made by the German company Franke & Heidecke, and later Rollei-Werk. The "Rolleiflex" name is most commonly used to refer to Rollei's premier line of medium format twin lens reflex (TLR) cameras. (A companion line intended for amateur photographers, Rolleicord, existed for several decades.) However, a variety of TLRs and SLRs in medium format, and zone focus, and SLR 35 mm, as well as digital formats have also been produced under the Rolleiflex label. The 120 roll film Rolleiflex series is marketed primarily to professional photographers. Rolleiflex cameras have used film formats 117 (Original Rolleiflex), 120 (Standard, Automat, Letter Models, Rollei-Majic, and T model), and 127 (Baby Rolleiflex).
The Rolleiflex TLR film cameras were notable for their exceptional build quality, compact size, modest weight, superior optics, durable, simple, reliable mechanics and bright viewfinders. They were popular and widely imitated. The high-quality 7.5cm focal length lenses, manufactured by Zeiss and Schneider, allowed for a smaller, lighter, more compact camera than their imitators[citation needed], further differentiating the Rolleiflex TLR from many of its competitors, who were forced by inferior optics to use 8.0cm or 8.5cm focal length lenses. Unique to the Rolleiflex Automat and letter model cameras, the mechanical wind mechanism was robust and clever, making film loading semi-automatic and quick. This mechanism started the exposure counter automatically, auto-spaced the 12 or 24 exposures, and tensioned the shutter; all with less than one full turn of the film advance crank. This makes the Rolleiflex Automat/Letter model cameras very sought-after for shooting fast paced action, such as street photography[citation needed]. A wide range of accessories made this camera a system: panorama head, sun shade, parallax-corrected close-ups lenses, color correction, contrast enhancing, and special effect filters, all mounted with a quick release bayonet, as well as a quick-change tripod attachment. Some amateur and fine-art photographers still shoot Rolleiflex TLR film cameras with color transparency, color negative, or black-and-white film. The later f2.8 and f3.5 letter models (Planar or Xenotar lens) are highly sought after in the used market, and command the greatest price. Rolleiflex TLRs are no longer manufactured. Historically there were five focal length cameras available include 5.5cm Rollei-Wide, 6.0cm Baby Rollei, 7.5cm (f:3.5), 8.0cm (f2.8), and 13.5cm (f:4 Zeiss Sonnar) Tele-Rolleiflex. Although all Rolleflex cameras can be fine user cameras, there is also, an active market for many Rolleiflex models as collectables, and this adds (greatly in some models) to the end price paid, particularly in Japan[citation needed].

OK so the camera name is covered with black tape and its fitted with a "grey" Canon lens, but I am sure this is a Nikon D700.
What do you think ?
Now covering the identification marks on a camera used to be a good Idea if you didn't want to be a target for thieves. However nowadays the expensive "professional" cameras are so big they stand out anyway.
This guy looks like his day was going badly.
My good old Xti gave out a few weeks ago (the pictures you have seen lately are ones I had taken with it before it crashed)... thus the new one. So glad to be back into shooting! ;-)
Adding to my 3 previous posts, this beaut right here is my camera. I bought it back in october after I decided it was time to upgrade from my canon xs. I had to sell my canon xs and save up about 2 months worth of pay checks but it was worth every cent!
I had to take this photo with my parents Canon Rebel XT which was kind of a pain in the butt to use because of its small screen and that it doesn't have very many options when it comes to ISO. When I was editing the photo I noticed 2 red dots and a blue dot that I immediately identified as being dead pixels. I started to freak out because I take very good care of my camera and didn't understand how I could have gotten dead pixels but I realized that I didn't use my camera to take the photo. I also had to take this photo using my 50mm f1.8 lens rather then my 50mm f/1.4 because I decided I'd put my f/1.4 on my camera for this photo
I also took photos of my lenses that I plan on posting at some point. I'll probably post them in between other photos that way my photostream isn't filled with photos of my cameras and lenses. My plan is to post a photo for every camera and lens that I own and put them in a set titled "My Camera Equipment". That way if anyone is ever interested in what camera gear I use they can find out by looking at the set.

Miranda camera with a fixed waist-level view finder (as on type S) but with a transport lever (as on type D). Lens is a Miranda 2,8/50mm, screw mount, without the name Soligor.
Camera was sold in the Netherlands. Might be a special order by FODOR who imported these cameras.
This is the first camera I ever used. George Cross was my Grand Father, who died in the early 50's. I would have used this camera in the mid 60's.
the collection as of december '07
not shown: the camera that took the picture - nikon d40
or the digital camera on the macbook or in the cell phone.
brings the tally to something around 56 cameras.
most cameras seen here were thrifted. the majority cost $1 or less.
in cases. and the ones i use are on a shelf.
i don't want to pay for film any more. i don't want to buy $7 batteries to use in cameras that cost $1 a shot.
i know i can get film for all of the cameras [except the polaroid roll film, that's the only one dead. the sx-70 pack can be modified, etc]
if i happen to find polaroid 600 film for a quarter a pack, then hell ya.
in the mean time, i'm goin digital and stockpiling film cameras for fun.
