I am going to try and add a component of my own to this 52 project. Each week, I plan to add my picture to Wikipedia. I am trying to find articles will no photo or an outdated photo so that my additions will be relevant. The first one is easy. This is my new camera and the article had no photo.

Margan and I took the plunge for full-sensor DSLR's -- Santa brought us Canon 5D Mark III's on his sleigh (well, actually Margan and Amazon had something to do with it, but the Santa story is sweet). Took them to California for our Christmas visit and have been processing and posting since.
I also decided (which I will likely regret) to do another 365 project this year. I did 2014 and it was a fun and learning experience. The only caveat I will make is that, if a day happens when I cannot make a photo, I will retrieve one from the archives that day. This was an easy day 1 of 365 (actually 366, since this is a Leap Year!).

My mother recently found and sent me the first camera that was used to capture me as a baby. This camera came out in 1978 costing around $600 with a gallon of milk at that time was around $1.60. I now need to find some film and take this for a spin.

Almost. Not too many of these around anymore but newer versions are still made.

A typical view from Czech fields - solar collectors stuffed in large numbers in place of wheat. An unfortunate law, made "on order" by the "solar mafia", established insanely high redemption prices for solar energy guaranteed by the state. In the result, solar power plants began to grow everywhere on farmlands. The price was so high, that even gasoline generators have been used to shine on the collectors at night, to produce more of the lucrative energy. Normal was also, that when a new plant needed to be approved by the officials, and it was not finished, another plant has been dismantled and moved in the position of the new one, and after the approval moved back. Today the law has been canceled, and it´s not lucrative anymore to build more collectors.
A year ago, this camera (w/lens) was around $900. I just picked this up, brand new, for $300. It's a "steal" at that price! :-)

1. If you have one of these old plastic kit lenses around, something that you are not using for anything serious, you can give it a new life as a macro lens by removing the front element. Here I have an old Canon 38-76 mm lens. You may find these in eBay, second hand stores, etc.
WARNING: This will not work with most lenses. When in doubt, try first with a throw-away broken lens or something that you won't mind breaking. By attempting this you most likely void warranty (if any), you may accidentally break your lens, or you may not be able to put it back together again. Plan ahead, don't hurry.
2. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to remove the plastic ring that is glued onto the front. Be careful not to tear or break it.
3. You'll find three tiny cross-head screws under the ring. They may be really tight. Cheap tools may not work here. Use a good, hardened, exact-fit screwdriver and keep it firmly in place, otherwise you may ruin the heads and then you can't remove the front element without breaking things. Try not to scratch the lens.
4. Pull the front element out. Now you have an odd-looking but fairly decent macro lens! Attach it normally to the camera (not in reverse; no adapters needed).
Keep the parts so you can put it back together later. You can the use lens cap and the front element together as a "lens cap" of the macro lens. A rubber band can keep things together.
The depth of field will be very shallow, so you may want to shoot with the smallest aperture you can. In bright sunlight this should be no problem. Otherwise you may want to use a tripod and a remote, or the camera's self-timer, and flash(es) etc. Without the front element the auto-focus will not work, so you'd better turn it off. Adjust the focus by moving the camera or the subject. You can fine-tune the focus by turning the zoom ring.
Using an extender increases the magnification.
You can see some macro sample shots taken with this lens here.
