Today is really not my day. I've been wanting to shoot with film again for so long and today I wanted to get some film for it. Last year there were none at all, today they cost about 3 times as much as before. So here are 108 treasures in my hand. And shortly after I took the photo, the camera fell down and now my lens is broken.... Either I start the day over again or we quickly jump to the next :D - day 14
Smile on Saturday: Money Box
This is the only money bank with a coin slot that I have -- it's just a little dollar store item that originally came with candy in it. I kept it for photography purposes and have ended up using it a couple of times now. The coin in the slot is a special edition Loonie (Canadian one-dollar coin) commemorating Canada's 150th birthday in 2017.

This week's Macro Mondays Group theme of "Buttons and Bows" reminded me of a simpler age, many years ago when buttons were saved for reuse and Granny's, or Mum's Button Box became a favourite children's plaything, often being re-imagined as a pirate's treasure chest, a shop's till, or just an intriguing kaleidoscope of memories, shapes, textures and colours!
So, this is my entry for the theme, as one man's trash is another man's treasure! HMM
San Francisco, California, 2000. Pentax K1000, smc-m with deep yellow filter. Agfa APX100 developed in Xtol stock.
Here's a shot of Treasure Aisle's, a nifty little used book and comic store. One time a shop lifter tried to make off with a cassette, and the owner grabbed where the neck meets the shoulder. Soon he coughed up the cassette and was begging for mercy. the only problem was that the shop lifter was on one side of the counter, and the owner on the other. He had to let go of the culprit to come around the counter to pound him into the floor. They both disappeared out the front door, and I guess that kid ran fast, because the owner couldn't catch him; fear does that to people. The owner left the rest of us to watch the store, and of course we did--but not through fear. Was the owner right to get mad and violent? Of course. You and I didn't have to pay his taxes, his rent, his utility bills, etc. That store was a free bazaar for compulsive thieves. The store and the building are gone now, and the site is under the Sterling Apartment Complex.

"It's been a month since we drank cool water. .. luckily today I bought some ice finally we can drink cold water"
People in Eastern Gouta do not have any cold water because they do not have electricity. Gouta has been besieged and under continues shelling for 3 years because people there support the revolution.

Less than ten months before my father died he showed me the contents of a black metal box. This was one of the hidden treasures, my grandfather's pocket watch.

Luke 12:33
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

My collection of dolls by the extremely talented artist Dorote Zaukaite aka Tireless Artist.
These dolls are not usually displayed together, it was an interesting experience attempting to photograph them.
Different sizes, different stylings, each doll is unique and has her own wonderful character and special personality.
I love these dolls so much and feel extremely lucky that they own me :)
