jo__lees: Where is that? Looks familiar...
alexdircks: Just off Norton St, Leichhardt
I look quite sullen here. No very good reason why :)
If I'd known I was going to play lots of guitar hero this evening I would have tried to make the top half as more like the bottom half. Pink sweater's not very rock and roll.
My favorite compact, Olympus 35RC, all ready for action: small, light strap for hanging on shoulder, vented lens hood (uneccessary but fun) and wide angle finder (absolutely unecessary but fun).
I just can't say how nice it is to shoot with an RC -- I actually agree with Ken Rockwell that in many functional ways, this camera is better than a Leica.
I’ve come across a few old onsite waste compactors in the past, however unfortunately I failed to consider taking pictures of them all for the purpose of documenting their existence. One classic system I did photograph recently is this stationary unit consisting of a solid blade packer coupled to a tough old ribbed 27m container, not at all resembling the new bulk handling gear out there today. According to what is indicated on the top left corner surface, but not visible in this photo, this compactor was fabricated in January 1982... I’m sure this classic refuse mechanism has always resided at this particular city shopping centre which has been around forever. It’s also a MacaPak system, produced by none other than MacDonald Johnston Engineering. Near the front of the container you will get hinted involvement of AB Equipment, from a previous search I got the impression they’re involved with dock equipment and one of their customers is Kmart. I have no idea which company serviced this bin in the past, but it was definitely a dino truck, yet I’m not even sure who does it today, although it’s a hook lift job now. Sitting adjacent to this packer and right behind me in the photo is another identical stationary blade packer, but that one is hooked up to a modern Cleanaway container and serves the Coles store.
Unable to hear the yelling of 3 people and a wookiee, Ted starts up one of the Death Star's trash compactors. He can't figure out why it stops a few minutes later.
The cathedral is in the compact city of St Asaph. It's one of two in Wales, the other being St David's. I had 'bagged' St Asaph many years ago as part of my quest to visit every city in the UK. (I now have two in England and four in Northern Ireland to visit.)

A series of random photos while in the house and garden under lock-down restrictions.
The first Retina, a compact folding camera which pioneered the 135 format, was followed by two new models in 1936. The Retina I, which was the more popular of the two, was essentially the same as the previous model. The Retina I was most commonly equipped with a 50 mm f/3.5 Schneider Kreuznach Retina-Xenar lens and Compur or Compur-Rapid shutter . . . l

The second generation of the Renault Kangoo models was built from 2007 until 2021. Part of the range is this Compact model. This model is often used by surveillance companies over here. It's seems to be a little too small for the owner of this one, seeing the additional box on the roof...

Although there aren't any real compact pickups still being sold in America, they were once a huge part of the pickup market, despite the fact that most of them faced a 25% import fee better known as the "chicken tax." in the 1970s, Datsun, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Mazda, and Isuzu all competed for buyers of these small pickups, although not always under their own names.
Seeing the popularity of these vehicles fairly early on and not having anything domestically-produced to compete with them, both Ford and General Motors worked with foreign partners - Mazda and Isuzu, respectively - to source competitors that could be sold as captive imports. Mazda sold trucks under its own name, including the very interesting Rotary Pickup, while Ford sold a variant of their pickup as the Courier. Later, Chrysler would import Mitsubishi pickups as the Plymouth Arrow pickup and Dodge Ram 50.
GM used the Isuzu Faster, a car-based pickup that was essentially the front half of an Isuzu Florian with a pickup bed. This truck debuted in 1972 as the Chevrolet LUV (Light Utility Vehicle), and was quite popular. GM also found a way to price it lower by getting around the "chicken tax" - they imported the trucks with only the cab and chassis installed, and then installed the beds in the United States, resulting in only a 4% import tariff.
The original LUV wasn't a bad truck but the Florian was aging even in 1972, and by 1980 the competition had moved on. So Isuzu redesigned the Faster and it arrived at U.S. Chevrolet dealers in late 1980 in a totally new form. Bang up to date, it was a much better truck, with more flexibility and more rugged underpinnings.
But by the early eighties GM and Ford were both working on small trucks of their own that were just a little bit bigger than the Japanese trucks. These domestically-produced designs would be hugely popular and have long production runs, and the first arrived in the fall of 1981 as the Chevrolet S-10, which debuted as a 1982 model. A year later, the Ford Ranger debuted.
The presence of the S-10 meant that Chevy no longer needed the LUV, and so the model was dropped in 1982. By then, Isuzu had started selling vehicles under it's own label in the United States and the pickup became the Isuzu P'up.
This mk2 LUV is fairly rare, as these trucks were only available for about 18 months. The Isuzu-branded version continued into 1987.
Much later, in 1996, Isuzu would begin selling a variant of the Chevy S-10 (by then in it's second generation, but basically still the same 1982 design under the skin) as the Isuzu Hombre.
The "BIO" added to the diesel badge on this one hints at an obvious and popular (nowadays) conversion. Another period small pickup, a Volkswagen Caddy, can be seen in the background.

Shot in... Paris with my... Compact camera, it fell in some vodka at some point I think, so it is a bit blurry at the center.
