Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
I’d photographed this barn before. At that time it had seemed odd to come across an old barn, in the middle of the countryside – with signs all over it.
Now it’s even more strange – it has a light aircraft parked outside of it. Not the entire aircraft mind you. The cabin, fuselage and wheels are there as are the horizontal and vertical stabilizers. But the engine and wings are missing. Very Strange. I wonder why it’s there.
What will I find the next time I go past: the space shuttle?
This is the first commercially available (and so essentially the original) polaroid camera: The Polaroid 95. It came out in 1948. Unfortunately I won’t be taking any pictures with this one. Apparently the film was discontinued quite some time ago. I’ve seen hints that it’s possible to convert it to take available film, but I don’t think I’ll go to the trouble. Lovely looking camera though.

Amazing! I guess that modern technology is more resilient than I thought – at least in the case of memory cards. I can’t imagine that the camera was working.
A camera lost in the Pacific Ocean during a shipwreck two years ago was found by chance earlier this month by a pair of university students on a research dive off the coast of Vancouver Island and then reunited with its owner thanks to a still-functional memory card and an old-fashioned community bulletin board.

A few more pictures taken while walking the dog around the lake.
Canoes at North Beach
New wooden bridge. Part of a project involving the new bridge, some gravel paths and a seating area with picnic table. Nicely done by the Eagle Scouts.

Stairwell
Green, White and Yellow statues. Unfortunately I didn’t note down who created this and what it’s called and I can’t find it on the MOMA web site

Above and below. I was looking out from the upper level bookstore when I noticed that reddish/orange divider nicely split in two the upper and lower floors. The contrast between the normal (if truncated) upper level and the somewhat blurred heavily tinted lower level appealed to me.
