1927 Flashlight
Du Quoin, IL
The library in Du Quoin has a pretty extensive collection of local high school and junior high yearbooks. While the Flashlight never had a lot of photos of local businesses in its advertising section (that's the first thing I look for in an old yearbook), the cover design was often pretty fantastic. I only had time to go through a few Flashlights on this visit; hopefully I'll be able to take a closer look at the collection some other time.

Scored on this vintage Eveready flashlight for the bike. It fits the handlebar mount perfectly. Check out the cool glass lens! Score!!!
I get a lot of questions on my lighting. This is a sample of one of my favorite tools. That's right a flashlight.

And here's the terminals glued to the batteries, with the leads soldered on. Unfortunately, when I tested with the multimeter after adding the wires, I'm not seeing the expected 6V, meaning either a bad connection to the battery, a solder, or a break in one of the wires. I'll have to do some troubleshooting to track that down and fix it.
NOTES FROM SUNDAY: Found the open, still have no idea how it happened as it looks like it should be an absolutely good connection. Oh well. Pulled questionable bit apart and put it back together several times, and ended up replacing one of the terminals, but I think my batteries are working now. At least they show more or less the expected voltage. No pictures, as it looks pretty much exactly the same.
Next step is to wire it in, (fingers crossed that I don't blow the bulb again), and remount the switch.
This one was done with a Radio Shack enclosure, two super bright LEDs, two LED holders, a resistor, a switch, and a 9 volt battery holder (and the battery, of course). Finished it off with a magnet so it can stick to the fridge. Really happy with the results, it's pretty blinding. Thanks again, phooky! Shown here blasting one of Paulkaiju's Biters.
The harshest hunting environments calls for high-tech performance.

Clayton's favorite -- more play with lighting.

"Dance on the Outside" because that used to be the name of my photography myspace(that i no longer use).
30 sec exposure taken late at night at an old cemetery. My first attempt at this technique. Too bring out the details of the tombstone I used a light painting technique I read bout several years ago in a Smithsonian magazine. In this picture I used a standard flashlight and partially obscured the lens to prevent bright spots.

I didn't get to the batteries (other distractions) but I did spend a couple hours wandering through various stores, including the hardware store, twice. In the course of which I considered and rejected, well, more options for that access/butt extension than I really care to recall or list.
This is what I eventually came up with. ABS instead of PVC, much harder and more durable, and not prone to eating itself when stressed. Apparently I was just on the wrong aisle the first time. (Also note my vernier calipers in the background - checking the size. They're just fun; I just groove on good tools in general :)
