A Couple of Crazies

Just wanted to share with you my crazies, Jackson (the dog) and Frank (the cat). Jackson weighs about 9 lbs. and Frank weighs about 13 lbs. They do this at LEAST twice a day, usually before it's time to eat. Nobody ever gets hurt or runs away angry. At first we would force them to stop and I would scold Jackson for beating up on Frank. Then we realized that they both LIKE it! Crazy, huh?

Vintage Airplane Love

Today I stumbled upon some photos I had taken back in March of last year at a wonderful place that my husband told me about. I remember that day because my son was beyond excited to see all the old planes, helecopters and boats outside. And of course, his mommy was excited about all the beautiful vintage cars stored inside the museum (no, I didn't get any good photos due to the - ehem - "bad lighting".

Well, imagine how disappointed I was to learn that the The Pate Museum of Transportation has been closed and dismantled. For some unknown reason, after the owner passed away, his heirs were not interested in keeping the museum open. I'm just glad I got to take my son atleast once. I wonder what happened to all those old cars......

New Toy

This weekend I found a cute little addition to my little camera collection. I found this Argus Autronic I with a flash, light meter and instruction book for 20 bucks at an estate sale. The shutter seems to work well and the lens looks nice. It may or may not have been a good deal, but I don't care. I plan on buying film for it and will share what happens with you. Isn't that light meter cool? I just want to carry it around in my pocket and fiddle with it. So cool.

By the way, this is the same kind of camera that Phillip Willis used to take photos of John F. Kennedy in Dallas when he was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Phillip Willis, in case you didn't know, swore to his death that the shots that killed President Kennedy did NOT come from the Texas School Book Depository. For some interesting facts on Phillip Willis and his place in history, go here and here.

For a good laugh, there's a photo of me as an extra in Oliver Stone's "JFK" here, where I spent lots of time standing by the Texas School Book Depository talking to many conspiracy theorists.

For the record, my birthday happens to be on November 22nd so I get to hear about the assassination every year. It's like me and this little Argus were meant to be together.

Simple Pleasure

This shadow only appears on the window over my kitchen sink at a certain time every day. I just love it so much and am so happy when I happen to see it. A simple little thing that makes me happy.

Here's another:

Some Viewfinder Lovin'

A few new photos in my shop. The TtV of my vintage Misty was taken during Christmas holiday. I have a couple more of Misty and Stormy in the snow that I'm still working on. I'm having the "Custom" TtV printed large and hanging it in my kitchen. And I just love the Fairlane emblem, don't you? If you want to see more of my vintage car photos, go here.
