David White Stereo Realist Camera

22Dec09

638 // December 22, 2009 By now I really have forgotten when, how and why I discovered this type of camera. But, ever since I did, I was smitten and have been in search of one. More than to collect, but to actually use. I mean, look at the results they produce! Two almost-identical photographs, […]

633 // December 13, 2009 Looking up at Keystone, warm and cozy from the condo today. We received quite a bit of snow…. more in one day than perhaps the whole month!

Inspired

08Dec09

629 // December 07, 2009 I mentioned yesterday that I was able to visit the Denver Art Museum. I didn’t tell you that the Western Art section was my absolute favorite. Now, there are two sections: Western American Art and Historic Western American Art. Right now I will focus on telling you of the first […]

Happy Thanksgiving

621 // November 27, 2009 Happy Thanksgiving! It has been a very relaxing and yet eventful past few days. Hubbie and I have escaped the city as of earlier this week, and have enjoyed some fresh mountain air. Along with a couple of personal friends who joined us, we had a huge turkey feast on […]

Framed Cameras

22Nov09

618 // November 22, 2009 Framed Cine-Kodak Eight Model 20 (1932 – movie camera) I will apologize in advance, as some (maybe most of my frequent) readers have already seen these photos.

“308 STEPS”

20Nov09

617 // November 20, 2009 I love when I find great examples of usage for unnecessary quotations. Wait, maybe that is an oxymoron. Anyway, if you haven’t seen, them please visit this hilarious site: The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks.
