My recently acquired Walther PPK .32 ACP pistol.
Just for the curious, PPK stands for Polizei Pistole Kriminal Modell or Police Pistol Detective Model. It was first issued in 1931 in 7.65mm (.32 ACP) and made to be used for undercover police work. They were also issued to German military police, Luftwaffe and Nazi Party members during WWII. Hitler committed suicide with his PPK. Also famous for being James Bond's sidearm.
Most PPKs in the US were made under license by INTERARMS or Smith & Wesson (which is who made this PPK) due to laws on importing firearms this small.
(Note: This is a PPK and not a PPK/S, which uses a larger frame to hold an extra round of ammo)
Collection Building by MVRDV Architects - opened November 2021
This public art depot for the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam NL, features exhibition halls, a sculpture roof garden and a restaurant, in addition to an enormous amount of storage space for art. The public can see what’s going on behind the scenes in a museum and private art collectors will be able to store their own collection under ideal museum conditions. The design – a reflective round volume – responds to its surroundings, Rotterdam’s Museumpark.
Collection Building is an art depot open to the public. A public route zigzags through the building, from the lobby on the ground floor where a café can be found up to an exhibition space, sculpture garden and restaurant on the roof. On the way up the route passes along and through art depots and restoration workshops. In depots visible from the route, the exhibition can be changed on a daily basis by simply moving storage racks so each visit to the building can offer a unique experience. On three floors the route passes through exhibition spaces which will be programmed by Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.
The building - which will store the precious art collection of Rotterdam - will also have spaces not accessible to the general public. For example logistics, quarantine and room for private art collections whose owners can visit their art and even enjoy it in private spaces comparable to the art equivalent of a sky box. This is a new commercial service offered by the museum. The roof featuring a restaurant, sculpture garden and exhibition space offers wide views over Rotterdam.
The Collection Building was realised on the northern edge of Rotterdam's Museumpark, realised by OMA with Yves Brunier in 1994. In order to spare the park, the volume is designed as a compact round volume with a small footprint and will be clad with a reflective glass façade. This will make the building less visible and allow reflections, the public can see what is happening elsewhere in the park. Where needed the reflection will be lesser for transparency and to avoid unwanted light effects. 99% of the works will be visible or accessible to the public. The building will feature seven different climatic conditions facilitating ideal conditions for art storage, offices and the public. The ambition was to reach the equivalent of sustainability classification BREEAM Excellent.
Every night, after the sun sets, you can catch a beautiful light show at the Depot. A video installation called “Wasting life on you” by Swiss artist Pilotti Rist will be projected from a colourful pole beside the museum.
One of the advantages of being a regular rental customer appears to be that sometimes one gets a rather large compact car.
I don't usually rent compacts, as they are not quite comfortable enough for the seven plus hours driving to and from the diocesan office in Kansas City (around 340 miles return trip).
I'm only going to Carthage and on to Joplin this weekend so I thought a $9 per day compact would suit the bill and be good stewardship too. This is what they gave me :)

PERSONAL FUN FACT: I thought that this was the coolest playset idea ever, when I found out about it in the pages of Margo Rana's "Disney Dolls Identification & Price Guide." I was about five when this movie came out, so I did own merchandise. But it was very limited in my area, which is why I either don't recall seeing this, or I simply never encountered it. The only cooler thing Mattel could have made in terms of a playset, would have been the cathedral Quasimodo lived in. That's probably a bit ambitious...but boy would I have loved it. Anyways, I was very into making my dolls nomadic, when I was a kid. So I'm sure if I had this back then, it would have sparked my imagination. I got this in an eBay lot at the start of 2011. It was paired with my True Hearts Gift Set and a few extra bits and bobs...all of the stuff was used. I thought it made more financial sense to miss out on a few random accessories, and get this tent and used dolls. Buying it all still sealed would have been very costly. And honestly, this tent wasn't that easy to find online in the first place. I had this on display for about a decade, until I needed more room for dolls. But it still comes out often for photos. It's really easy to take apart and stores compactly. It might not be stellar quality, but it has stood the test of time. I always loved the blending of different colors and patterns that were used for this movie. This tent is a perfect representation of that, and truly encapsulates the vibe of the film.
Porst compact-reflex with Porst Color Reflex Auto MC 1.4/55 G
My first "modern" M42-SLR from Porst, the Porst compact-reflex, which is Cosina CSM. This copy is only named compact-reflex, but there many cameras with a further identifier, like S, SP, AM, OC, OCN, OE, OS, OV and probably some more. It would be painful to assign those cameras to the specific Cosina model, but I think the camera above and the S/SP have M42 thread mount, the others Pentax K-mount.
For sure it is no high-end camera, but it's fine. Full electronical shutter from 4 s to 1/1000 s and one mechanical time, 1/50 s. The self-timer also looks mechanical but it works completely electronically, you can't cock it until the shutter is cocked or in position "B", and it is combined with a mirror lock-up. Viewfinder with split-screen and illuminated under/over indicator for exposure metering. Yes, the metering is a bit different compared with other cameras, where you have to stop down for metering with a DOF-button which also switches the meter on. When you press the shutter button half-way on this camera, the aperture closes and the meter is switched on. If you release the shutter again, the meter is switched off, but the aperture stay closed. If you want to open the aperture again, you have to press the silver "aperture release button" next to the lens. It's easy to confuse this button with a DOF-button. It's a clever operation, better than the one on some old Chinon cameras, where you have to close the aperture with the force of your finger via the shutter buttton.
The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
Shot for Macro Mondays theme "Favourite T.V. Shows"
I had a hard time deciding on what my favourite T.V. show was. I decided that Mad men was probably it. So this is a macro of my wife's very cool vintage style compact. A beauty aid that many of the women of mad men wouldn't have been caught dead without.
Curious shop on Coldharbour Road, Bristol called Bijoux Gifts. The sign shows it sells home interiors and dollshouses. Not sure if the interior goods belong in the dollshouses, Maybe some items will be used in the property to let above.
After a number of electric and hybrid SUV's MG last year introduced an electric compact car in Europe, the 4. Now a new X-Power version is added to the range. It has dual electric motors and all-wheel drive. Visible changes include the orange brake calipers and a special green colour.
Shouting the classic compact 35. Since it got wet the light meter doesn’t work but the cheap AliExpress one seems to so we will give that a go

My '95 E36 Compact.
Unfortunately, the EXIF is missing. Note that this is an 8s long exposure lit only by a street lantern.
I did some heavy post processing on this one: desaturated all but the coloured applications (I like the rim logos best), meddled with highlights and shadows and got rid of all noise to give it a smooth look.
waste recycling compactor doing the business, everything is probably now taking up less space than it was in all the cupboards I had at home.
As fill is added to the trench around the new culvert under SR 532 near Stanwood, workers are continuously compacting it.
The new culvert will improve fish passage in Secret Creek. Right now salmon and steelhead in the creek have to first find and then swim through a 4-foot diameter pipe under the highway. The 18-foot wide and 10-foot tall wider will improve habitat for fish and other wildlife in the area.
