Yes, it's a crazy way to get some money. And yes, right after this photo was taken , he got hit in the head hard enough that it almost drew blood. Sancho is originally from Brooklyn, and so am I, so we had something in common to talk about. His wife was out there with him, but he was doing the "work".

Washington Irving wrote in his essay "Old Christmas" of a nostalgic longing for the flavor of the "honest days of yore", which finds a similar echo of angst in our modern times.
His regret that the old traditions even then were more and more obliterated by the modern fashion of his time, that "those picturesque morsels of Gothic architecture which we see crumbling in various parts of the country ... partly lost in the additions and alterations of latter days", is nothing compared to our current condition where the only vestiges of the original spirit is fed to us with big business in mind via commercialism.
His particular search for the intangible yet sorely missed Christmas feeling is the same today, and drew inspiration for my design.
The traditional camera, starting with its early photographic "salad" days through the abundant expansion of the 1940s, certainly carries a vintage charm before the fireside hearth of commercialism, as it were. This also has become authentic, at this point in time.
What to do? The only way I can figure is to reconcile these far off almost polar associations.
A difficult problem indeed. But in these instances, I always look to a few tried and true cameras that carry much potentiality for me.
My design proposes and offers such an amalgam within one camera, but this is only one example of many.
Washington Irving's literary sketchbook of Old Christmas is mixed in with the modern architectural trend of rooftop additions, which is necessitated by the modern dilemma of a crappy economy and lack of urban space. In the case of our camera it would simply be the viewfinder hot shoe attachment. Washington Irving's literary devices to bring back the nostalgic past is done via the symbols of a Victorian stagecoach, a cottage fireside and a Victorian dining hall. This Rollei 35 SE custom kit (available nowhere) comes with a tripartite viewfinder of a replica of Sunnyside, Irving's 17th century home. Through the windows you can see three different views. the chief one being Irving's writing studio. The formal dining hall resplendent with a festive setting and for travelers of inferior order, a cottage fireside scene. Juxtaposing these last two rooms, a narrow foyer filled with unopened luggage cases places the viewer in a conflict of class distinction as to which to choose. As a final contrasting element, the camera kit is housed in a valise that is a replica of the recently discovered (still an alleged discovery) suitcase belonging to the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, whom I plan to turn my attention to later on with a full-fledged homage, but for the sake of Christmas I will make this it's "cameo appearance". Although he had no direct connection with Kahlo, Irving was the U.S Ambassador to Spain.
A note about the Rollei 35 SE camera: the best thing to do with this would be to digitize it, however it wouldn't shoot the same; the charm of this scale focusing camera is in the working of its front face dials. A fully digital version of this camera issued by Rollei would be ideal. However, the better thing to have in that case would be a printer connected to it so that an inferior digital LCD would be replaced with a photographic print. I include a flip down cover over the LCD to give it a more analogue feeling instead of the usual way of turning off the LCD. A hidden compartment under the camera body reveals a red memory chip containing a facsimile copy of Washington Irving's famous sketchbook recalling the 18th century red armchair in Irving's study with its hidden drawer where he kept his manuscripts. The latch on the Rollei to open its hidden compartment is in the viewfinder's writing studio compartment and can only be toggled by lifting the oil lamp on his desk. To do this a special tool is provided with the kit.
Irving's red armchair is also used in my design no. 92a, for the astronomer William Herschel.

Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin ("German Museum of Technology") was founded in 1982 in Berlin, Germany, and exhibits a large collection of historical technical artifacts. The museum's main emphasis is on rail transport, but it also features exhibits of various sorts of industrial technology. Recently, it has opened both maritime and aviation exhibition halls. The museum also contains a science center called Spectrum.
On May 15, 2002, a special exhibition opened which featured the inventions of computer pioneer Konrad Zuse, including a reproduction of the Z1.
It is located in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin, in buildings formerly part of the freight depot attached to the Anhalter Bahnhof. The building's famous C-47 'Raisinbomber' Skytrain can be seen with ease from the top of the Fernsehturm and in the past from a descending aircraft landing at Tempelhof Airport.
The museum contains many relics throughout, including an enormous railway collection, a large aircraft section which houses a Messerschmitt Bf 110, Flak cannon, the last Focke-Wulf Fw 200 and a V-1 flying bomb. The Cessna that Mathias Rust flew to Moscow during the cold war has also been added to the exhibition.
These marks by ancient peoples provide for much interpretation. I think I see a majorette twirling fire batons and an anter sporting dog sending smoke signals with its tail.
Help me interpret the marks. What do you see?

Like a score for a piece of music, you live with it and revisit it over a long period of time, decades if possible, with re-interpretations, each one adapted to reveal a different facet, or in this design, a different feeling for luxury, history.
Adolf Loos' denial of ornament is a perfect design aesthetic for the Cabinet War Rooms. His design for the Khuner Villa of 1930 is adapted for the hallway and bedroom office of Churchill. Precisely scaled built-in furniture and elegant craftsmanship with local inexpensive materials provide functional luxury for this historical structure. Staff rooms down the corridor have less detail and privacy screens to accommodate for Churchill's dressing area.
References to Churchill's habit of formal dress for festive occasions and Chartwell are highlighted without changing the historical function of this bunker.
