I've heard that the scene of the ED-209 being demonstrated for the first time by shooting one guy in the office was shortened. The robot's guns kept pumping bullets into that poor guy for about a minute straight. Had it not been edited down the film would have been given a NC-17 rating. Does the...
Midwest Regionalist Grant Wood is mine. I was born and raised in the part of Iowa where he painted in the 1930s. The style and wit of his paintings and murals contained some inside jokes that only us rural Iowans are privy to.

I have a couple of old cameras with film of stuff that I shot years ago still in them. This thread just reminded me that I should go get it developed one of these years.
I only live four blocks from where I work and the Goodwill is about three more in the opposite direction so after work I hit the Goodwill and then head home to walk the dog. I used to vary the walk, but she's going blind (she still has energy) so we now keep to the same route. It's funny how I...
Good job, MaryDeluxe!
From the Goodwill today:
1960s Davar lacquer ware. They're about six inches in diameter. On the back it says that they're 'liquor-proof.' [huh]

Sadly, I couldn't purchase this...no room in my...

I've always worn a vintage bowtie for mine. Usually your photo get cropped pretty tight, but the DOT photographer found it humorous and would make sure the bowtie showed. The last time, though, I put on a very LOUD vintage Hawaiian shirt and a pair of antique eyeglasses. I looked like a nerdy...
I recently came across this website promoting a documentary about obsessive collectors of vintage snapshots.

Admit it...all of us here have at least one vintage photograph of someone we have no idea who they are. If I had the time and money I...
The building is basically all offices. There's no museum inside for tourists. I suppose at one time anyone could just walk in and look around. Since the Attorney General works out of this building security is now pretty tight. Having a friend on the 'inside' made it pretty easy to get in and...
Funny that this topic would come up... A few days ago I went down to DC to visit a friend (photographer for the Dept. of Justice). Quite hidden from the public are scores of depression-era murals through-out the entire building that was built in the early 30s. There's lots of art deco design...
