Amid the 5/20/13 "Flickrpocalypse", I forgot to do a writeup on my third one-that-I'm-keeping SX-70 (I've owned seven, total) that I got a few days beforehand...
DOB: 8/10/76
This variant of the SX-70 has the original chassis (without the tripod or neckstrap mounts of the 1978-released Alpha 1's), but has the split-circle rangefinder, distance numbers on the lens, and newer silver plastic that doesn't have the "brushed steel" look of the very-first model. It's pretty mint and came with the nice-but-clumsy Eveready leather case that opens-up with the camera (I never use them that way, though; I fear I'm going to break the viewfinder "blinds" when I open it because it sometimes snags.)
This one was a gift from a lady that used to work in the snackbar at work, it belonged to her grandfather. She brought it in for me to identify and see if it would work (oh yes it did), and a few months later ended up giving it to me when she went off to school (thanks!).

... I used to have a list of every concert I've ever been to at www.acm.vt.edu/~clint/media/concerts.htm ... but a jerk named John Edstrom (from Virginia Tech) decided to delete everyone's shell accounts, even those who had been using our Virginia Tech ACM accounts for 15 years.

The original plungercam that I built earlier this year has been an absolute joy to use. However, the original design has a couple of problems.
1) The mounting mechanism to attach it to the camera uses a plastic body cap, which was never designed to hold much weight. As a result, the teeth on the cap have been slowly disintegrating under the weight (see inset, above). Mounting the lens has now become pretty unreliable.
2) Usage - there is a lot of fun to by forcing the user to tweak the focus by hand, and means that there is zero repeatability - no two plungercam shots will ever be the same. However, this means that it is unusable for time-lapse video applications, where it is important to keep the lens in the same place between shots.
The next few images will go through the construction of the dead simple Plungercam 2, which addresses the above two issues.

On Sunday's the wife and I take the kids to the local farmers market to grab some fresh produce and let the kids run around on the playground. Every week there is one celebrity or an another minding their own business doing some shopping. With celebrity comes opportunitic vultures who could care less about who or what gets in their way. It is rather annoying. I have acutally stood in front of a few lenses so that they could not shoot a celebs kids...I have even sttod in front of a window to block their view inside the supermarket. Yesterday these vultures caused an issue for me. As I was walking throught the farmers market with my family with camera in hand I was approached by someone who told me I had to leave the farmers market. At the time I was looking at the back of my camera at some of the images I had taken, when I heard an aggressive voice state, "Sir, you have to leave the farmers market immediately!!!" Without looking up I asked, "And why is that?" The voice replied, "Because you are a photographer?" I looked up and told the man, who was an inch taller than me and trying to intmidate me, "being a photographer, having a camera, and taking photos is not against the law. Frankly, I am not quite sure who you are and what laws I am breaking. If you would like you can call the police and we can have a discussion about first ammendment rights. As for now, I am going to continure shopping with my wife and two kids, as I do every weekend." I walked towards my wife and kids and he followed me and again stated I had to leave. I told him I was not leaving and he should call the police. At that moment I noticed the pap's on the sidewalk outside on the other side of the vendors...shooting through the booths trying to capturre a picture of the celebrity. I turned to the man and told him if he wanted to hassle someone he should hassle the pap's. I told him he obvioulsy was mistaken as I am not a paparazzi and have every right to be at the farmers market. He walked away and about a mintue later came back and apologized. He said he thought I was a paparazzi because I was standing in the vicinity of where they were. He offered to buy us flowers and/or lunch from any of the vendors...I told him I accepted his apology, and like him these vultures infuriate me too. I declined his peace offering and thanked him. He insisted we find him next week so he could buy us lunch. It really chaps my hide how invasive these pathetic vultures are, and how they can cause problems for folks who actually use a camera for artistic purposes. I sure hope some sort of legislation can be passed to prohibit celebrity stalking...it is really shameful that people keep these vultures employed by buying crappy gossip rags.

This house is a contributing property to the Marion Historic District listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Here is the mention of this house on the district's writeup:
"Many of the larger houses, typically built in various interpretations of the Colonial-Revival style were built in the early 1900s by the various industrial entrepreneurs who prospered in the early 20th century. These houses were usually based in architectural designs or published plans and
rely less on local tradition. The J.C. Campbell House (119-0012-0008) at 205 West Main Street was built in 1906 by the president of the U.S. Spruce Lumber Company as a showcase for the natural beauty of the local lumber resources."

Top of Overcoat from the 1925 Mountaineers annual trip album. According to the writeup after the trip a total of 17 people climbed Overcoat in two groups, the 2nd and 3rd recorded ascents of this peak (the 1st was Albert Sylvester in 1893). The 8 pictured here must have been the first group because there are two women, but I don't know who is who.
Group 1 on July 28, 1925
Glen F. Bremerman, Seattle - leader
Joe Hazard, Seattle
Clarence A. Fisher, Bellingham
Harry Rowntree, Seattle
Harriett Taylor, Spokane
Florence F. Dodge, Tacoma
Bernard M. Larson, Pittsburgh, PA
Charles M. Farrer, Seattle
Robert W. Reid, Seattle
Group 2 on July 29, 1925
Harry Rowntree, Seattle - leader
Alice Stenholm, Madison, WI
Alma Wagen, Tacoma
Bertha Boehme, Spokane
Harry Myers, Seattle
Edmond S. Meany Jr, Seattle
Matha Irick, Seattle
Gertrude I. Streator, Seattle
And maybe Ben C. Mooers, Seattle. His name is in the Mountaineers account but does not appear on the transcribed summit register page.
The write-up said "In the region of the Gap both the "valley-pounders" and the "peak- grabbers" found much for entertainment. Three rugged peaks were scaled: Iron Mountain, 6400 ft. elevation, under the leadership of Joe Hazard; Overcoat, 7550 ft., under the leadership of Glen Bremerman and Harry Rowntree; and Summit Chief, 7500 ft., under "Happy" Fisher's guidance; while Bear's Breast, 7500 ft., was scouted, and but for lack of time would have been conquered."
