    Still Lifes. I took my strobes to my sister's place and photographed a few things she had. These two came out the best. This is a small, electric waterfall (trickle, actually) that she keeps near the sliding glass door to the patio. An interesting teapot, with matching plate, from her...

    Vintage Lighters

    Here's my vintage lighter. So far, I've found that the Ronson Penciliters were made between the '30s and '50s. How far outside of each decade, I don't know. But, I'm guessing this one was made in the '30s. I got it at John in Covina's Pen meet this past weekend. I replaced the flint and...

    The Photographer

    Better "picture takers", yes. Better "Photographers", no. A photograph is a photograph and a snapshot is a snapshot: One goes in a portfolio or gallery and the other goes on the fridge. Having the option to choose one picture out of a bunch doesn't make one a photographer, per se (it makes one...

    Actor Art

    Today, while delivering flooring to the home he's rebuilding after it was burned down a few months ago during the fires in the San Bernardino Mountains, I met Actor Art. I spoke with him for half an hour after I'd finished hauling boxes into his soon-to-be-completed home. By the way, his new...

    Bicycle in the Shop Window

    I'd like to see that! About seven years ago, I took a bike ride on the Historic Arroyo Seco Parkway (that's the 110 freeway) from Pasadena almost to Interstate 5. It was an historic ride, being it was the first time ever that the freeway was closed to automovite traffic for the purpose of...

    The Best Fiction About the Golden Era?

    I started this one long before I joined the Lounge, but never finished it. Time to pull it out again. It's also time to give up trying to figure out which car that is on the cover - I've settled on "invented for the cover", since I can't find one like it anywhere. :D Lee

    Bicycle in the Shop Window

    I saw a modern version of one of those on the back of an RV, today.

    I've had this for a while - I don't recall where I got it or for how much - and photographed it today. I don't know the vintage. Brownie Type O: The background is the inside of an old suitcase that I bought in Victorville for five dollars. Lee

    LADIES of the LOUNGE

    It's been way too long since I last visited this thread, and I must say: These pictures - as well as many, many others (see above) - belong in the Crush thread. ;) :D Lee

    Darhling should do _______ with her hair.

    Up to a point, yes. At least for me. Lee

    Fedoragent and I went to an antique phonograph sale, today. Phonograph, not photograph. Naturally, I had to buy one of the very few (4) cameras - and the only movie camera - that were for sale there: This Paillard - Bolex 8mm from Switzerland. Yes, it works. :) Lee

    Darhling should do _______ with her hair.

    I'll speak for myself, but I'm sure I'm not alone in my sentiments: To me, long hair is very beautiful, feminine and even sexy. I love touching it and running my hands through it. I love watching the way it sails in a breeze and how it moves and bounces while a woman is walking; how it swings...
