I've joined a Meetup photo group. Two, actually. A couple of weeks ago, one of the groups did a '50s Pin-up-themed shoot. It morphed into a Greasers v. Nerds shoot. Here are a few of the photos I made. 1 2 3 4 56 7

Some very nice photos here. Below are a few of my own; some previously posted in the "Show Us Your Art" thread.

I still have 'Tilla. Here he is doing what he does best. I've missed out on much of the goings-on around the Lounge for most of this past year, but in the interim, I gained - and unfortunately lost to some car tires - a real sweetheart of a cat . . . Gwendolynne. Gwen loved to play...

My father's slide projector. Yes, there's a spare bulb in the box. Changing of the Guard. My last film camera and . . . second digital. This was my first digital camera. As I later learned, this particular model Casio was the second itteration of the very first digital...

A few more: 4X5 film processing tank. 8X10 graphics body:

Lemme add a few more. I'll try to not repeat any:

Some very nice cars and model work, here. I think this thread is a great idea! My classic is newer than this forum's scope, but it is a classic, none-the-less, and I look forward to coming here often. Mine is one of only 22,101 four-door Newport Customs that Chrysler made for '67. Here...

Just Picked up Dante's Divine Comedy. I'll be starting it soon. Lee

I was right! This was the best forum for having my question answered. Thank you to all who participated. Particularly you, Dixon. I never would have found the answer on my own! For the record, this photo is currently taped to the foam peanut hopper over the UPS station where I work (I've...

Exactly the reason my father always bought the lowest-optioned cars he could. As he'd say, "The more options it has, the more there is that can go wrong." Lee

Wonderful testimonial, Flivver. The Fairlane hardtop convertibles have always been favorites of mine, but I'm going to take this discussion a little further back in time and remind everyone of the first convertible hardtops, the Peugeot Eclipses. To Wit: The 1934 Peugeot 601 C Eclipse...

I have a question: I've been looking at this image for twelve years and I have no idea who it is. Was this man an actor or an actual Nazi? Because of the lighting, pose and photographic style, I'm going to guess that he was an actor, but who? Because WWII and this photo occurred within...
