The speed at which the spark goes from the point of your finger to the static discharge site. Actually I have no idea if there is something called electro-acceleration, but it sounded cool. ^ ^ (Shot from the bedroom window)
Thank you for visiting my photo stream!
Hope everyone has a shocking good weekend! :))
It looks as if this machine comes from the early industrial era. Clearly electro plating was an important process needed in the railway workshops. This photograph is designed to reflect the grunge and grime of the period.

This photo I took of my cat Luke was taken using a 1968 Yashica TL Electro-X - A quite interesting camera. I made a quick review about it on my YouTube channel if you want to check it out.

In the depts of the Bensenville industrial district, MARC E9AM 91, still painted in its Burlington Northern "Hockey Stick" livery, sits in storage with a cut of retired Metra bi-level coaches in an industrial lead that splits off of the CPKC Northwest Bridge Subdivision behind Ace Metal Crafts Company. Even though this locomotive may look like a pile of vandalized rust now, MARC 91 was built nearby in the EMD LaGrange plant as CB&Q E8A 9973 in August 1953 as one of the many striking streamliners pumped out of the plant by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division. The E8As powered passenger trains throughout the Burlington system until the Burlington Northern merger in 1970, and still served the BN and Amtrak on both freight and passenger service up into their rebuilds in the late 1970s by Morrison-Knudsen. CB&Q 9973, now BN 9973, was rebuilt by MK in May 1978 at their Boise shops into BN E9AM 9907, and operated on the then newly formed RTA commuter railroad, later Metra, along with the other E9AMs where they gained their fame running high-speed passenger trains on the Racetrack around the Chicago area in a flashy "Hockey Stick" livery with the iconic candy cane stripes on the nose. The E9AMs were finally retired in 1992 after a successful 4 decades of service, and were sent to Maryland to work on the MARC; a long ways from home rails. BN 9907 was renumbered to MARC 67, and worked around the MARC system up into the 1990s and early 2000s before getting replaced by newer up-to-date power. A few of the E9AMs, including the now renumbered MARC 91, ended up back in the Chicago area. Unfortunately, MARC 91 has since been completely gutted, and years of neglect has caused a horrible amount of corrosion to the body. Vandals have also damaged the locomotive throughout its years sitting in Bensenville. Although MARC 91 has miraculously made its way back to home territory, MARC 91's life has essentially came to an end sitting as a shell of its former self just a stone toss away from where it all began.

Because a Leica M6 is both A.) much more than I can afford, and B.) a massive fixation of mine, I decided to shop around for an affordable alternative. I happened to find this little fella sitting by his lonesome on eBay.
It's a Yashica Electro 35 GS. And it cost me $6. And my identity. But more on that later.
Shipping included.
Simply put, I love it. It fits like a glove in the hand, is built like a tank (slight overstatement) and makes an endearing "thump" sound every time you push the film advance doohickey. I ran an expired roll of Kodak Gold through her/him/it and and was even more pleased to see that it had no light leaks or major flaws.
Not so pleasing is how somebody hacked into PayPal, nabbed by card number and completely drained my checking account shortly after said purchase. Which I believe makes it a "hat trick" of identity thieving. Not as entertaining.
The very nice people at my banking establishment (which was not bailed out by the federal government) took care of it all and saved the day.
Thanks, publicly traded banking establishment.
Thanks, Yashica Electro.
And the chest hair? That's for you, Burt Reynolds.
