6 C!  Is that all ? 😉😉😉  Now if that was negative 6 C,  we'd be sailing 😁😊😊.  It's 90F (32.8 C) here  🥵🥵

P.S.  beautiful model and diorama.

Wefalck, any idea why that would be? Was photography adopted much sooner in the US, or do we have better archives of photographs taken?

 

History of Photography

We might have better archives, but then we also didn't have our cities decimated by two World Wars like Europe which might account I suppose for the scarcity of photographs.

This time I will take notes

Use the voice recorder app on your phone or buy a cheap digital  pocket size "tape recorder".  I have one (micro cassette) in my camera bag.

...gee Jack,  perhaps you can give me a head's up on what to expect for the next 20 years

Denis, just remember to genuflect, kiss the ring, and say "yes, Your Highness". And all will be well.  😊😇

Maybe you could get a new wing dedicated to house the CCoyle Conservatory for the Advancment of Modern Art and History . 😁😁😁😁😇

Congratulations!  🥳    Our 55th is coming up this November !   

My Mom kept some of the ration coupon books left over when war ended. 

Fantastic model/diorama Grant.

For water,  search YouTube for Woodland Scenics' videos on making water scenes. Very useful ! 

@Chuck  make sure you take a side trip to Buffalo's Canalside and Naval Park for a tour of USS The Sullivans and USS Little Rock. Enjoy the trip.

I can't locate his grating kits in the syren website. Even tried searching for grating kits.

Syren gratings

Scroll down to mid page

Did you look at @Chuck (SYREN) website. He has grating kits in different sizes along with an assembly jig. His have square holes in the grates.  Very high quality and reasonably priced also. 

Michael, I echo the sentiments expressed by others above! Welcome back! Glad you've recovered.

There are some photos at Olde Rhinebeck you might be interested in. 

Click on screenname as Mark said, select profile, then scroll down until you see the community map in lower left, click on view full size map at bottom of map, then click My Location in upper right of map. Now comes the finagle part , click Update Locate, enter zip code, city, state or wherever you want to be.  If you choose Current Location it uses your IP address of your internet provider.  Finagle with the map itself to get the location you want. Then click Save when done.

Are those the ones that produce English Leather 🤔?  You know " all her men wear English Leather or they wear nothing at all ! "  👹

Except the "hooves" are too close together to fool anyone !

I would buy them also. Don't have an immediate need yet! 

That's some eye candy !  I see an airborne rolling pin heading for your skull if the Admiral sees it. 😉😉😉😉😊😊😊😊😇😇😇😇

Hey Popeye, we thought maybe you ran out of spinach! 😁😁😁  Welcome home ! 

My problem also ! 🙄 

Great job !  Nice photos too.

Must be something connected with the IP address, it might not like “foreigners”… 😕

 

I guess they don't like the neighbors next door. 🤷 😁

Yep, but the cameras are relatively inexpensive.... (the Pentax 110 can be had for under 40.00 for the camera alone, a complete setup with lenses and filters in a custom case for under 300.00)

Interesting ! I have the camera with base lens, plus telephoto lens plus the custom flash unit.  Now if I could just find 110 film and someone to process it (my darkroom can only handle 2 1/4 square and 35mm B/W).

Take heart, film photography is not as dead as you may think it is:

Just like vinyl records, there is a growing niche segment that is spurring a revival of sorts.

Hmm ! Damn publishers! They want you to pay $1.50 per week to read one article one time. Get the same thing down here. 

Yes, I have seen that film is making a comeback. But now a roll of film is preposterously expensive.
