    Miss Day! That is awesome!! ;) BT. Great work! Have you tried Curves (ctrl-M), yet? If you haven't, do. I use both Levels and Curves, using the former first and then tweaking a bit more with the latter, if necessary. You can be even more precise this way, because you're not limited if...

    Odd names for your Pets

    I had two tabby cats for fifteen years. I found them both in the yard, they wouldn't tell me their names or give me any other information, so I named them John Doe and Jane Doe. Lee

    50s-early 60s?

    Look into Taschen books. I have some. They cover everything from pin-ups to automobiles to advertising to tin toys to valentines to tiki to album covers to photography to signs to hot rods (on page 3 - I have that one!) to . . . I've linked you to their Pop Culture - All Titles page. Use the...

    STOLEN ROADSTER – Found!

    A rather unique exhaust, there. Hopefully, that'll be a good give-away to anyone who spots it. Best of luck to your friend, RIOT. Lee

    Black & White 35mm Film question

    Any camera store - REAL camera store - will send it out for proper development. When I bought the 1967 Hasselblad with a 120 film back last summer, I'd take the film (including a roll that was in the film back when I got it) to a store that's local to me (Powells) and they'd send it to a lab...

    Ice Cream Parlor Talk

    "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!" I remember my mother saying that a lot. lol I'll eat pretty much any kind of ice cream, and generally try to get something different each time I buy some. But as a kid my favorite was always Pistachio. Hagen Daz Rum Raisin, which is...

    New Pictures of Clara Bow. (Taken today!)

    No, she really can't. Not even if she tried. Even the candid shots I got when she wasn't ready look good! Lee

    My Camera Collection

    Any camera store will carry film. I've purchased 120 roll film from a store near me as recently as last summer. They had color and black and white. I still patronize that store and know for a fact that they still carry film. Lee

    Those are very nice, Bob! Very unique! Beautiful! On my way home fom my photoshoot with ShortClara, I happened upon the Jackson family and their family reunion/impromtu family car show on a side street. They were very gracious and allowed me to take a few shots (twenty-nine). Here are a few...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    That is absolutely beautiful, Pink! Disgacing it with a TV would be a, well, disgrace! What a great find and at such a tremendous price! :eusa_clap Lee

    New Pictures of Clara Bow. (Taken today!)

    I don't mind at all, Bob. You're right, the image does look good in black and white. :) I processed these three images mere hours after shooting them, and I hadn't yet reached the mental point of trying anything more creative than a standard processing - sharpening, curves, hue, etc...

    New Pictures of Clara Bow. (Taken today!)

    Take Two! Miss ShortClara and I spent another day with my camera. Before I show you the results, though, I want to thank her for another opportunity to work with her. I also got to meet her friend, Belinda, and I thank her for her natural - probably untapped, until today - ability to control...

    I'm with you, QB! Those two are great! I also like the berries. Great shots, Belly Tank. :) Douglas, very interesting, unique music! It's amazing what we can get with a digital point and shoot! A few of the pictures in my online gallery (see quote) were taken with a point and shoot. In...

    Strange Superstitions and The Superstitious Among Us

    My parents met on a Friday the Thirteenth in 1954 and remained married until my father's passing in 2003 (married fourty-eight and a half years), my family has always had black cats, I carry A-frame ladders by going underneath and grabbing both sides and walking it to where I need it, I've...

    Art Deco Magazine Rack

    I was going to say that the original color would be great and that you could apply the tan with a sponge. I think the red and black looks great. But before you finish it, use a touch of wood putty on the rough spots and sand it smooth. For a nail that's sticking out, remove it and then...
