365 Day 292: Camera Porn: Black Paint Zorki 6 with a Voigtlander 35/2.5 Color Skopar "C" Lens

Done!

I dont think I'll ever do another one of these things. These cameras are surprisingly well made, but a bit convoluted, way more parts then you would expect. It was a nightmare all the way through. I do want to do a couple more colors and now that I've done this one, i think it will be cake if I do anymore.

Things Ive learned in the past 48 hours:
- Always use fresh spray paint
- Clean nozzle more often then I do
- Always use some sort of primer, no matter what anyone says
- more magnetic screw drivers
- more tweezers
- more gloves
- more soft work lights
- More ventilation
- A lot more patience

365 Day 290: Camera Porn: Dismantled Zorki 6 Rangefinder Camera

This isnt as much a "Picture of the Day" as it is a cry for help. I dont know what compels me to do these things, but I must. This is my lastest project, CLA and repainting my Zorki 6.

And so it begins, (possibly) another lesson in futility.

To be continued...

365 Day 281: Insects: 1

So, I got so many nice shots last week that I've decided to do another week of Insects. This time a little more free-form and not strictly portraits (headshots).

I know, I know, the dirty-old masses are crying out for more boobies, but that's not going to happen for awhile. So just deal with it, and be happy with what you have. It's better then nothing!

A Note About Comments...

Hey kids, I just wanted to write a note about comments. I love 'em! But I have been bad about checking them. A few months back, this blog was featured in Google's Blog of Note, and I was getting spammed like crazy. I had to turn on the moderation. But in my hast, I forgot to turn on email notification. I fixed this today, and responded to a bunch of comments. Sorry it took so long. I have my settings set now and all relevant comments will be posted and if need be, answered. Thanks again for following and enjoying my crap!
