DAY 31: I took a Sunday drive to the farm today. Though it was overcased I had hoped to get some farm action shots but there were none to find. Corn harvest is just about wrapped up and soybean harvest is a week or two away in most places. I brought along a copy of the Saturday New York Times (I get the Saturday and Sunday Times delivered at home but I don't read the editorials) featuring an article about a musical about the flood of 1993 and Valmeyer, Ill. The musical is currently being presented by our local community theater group and many of the cast members and audiences are flood survivors. I lived it and have no desire to see the play but I I showed the article to Dad and he sat down to read it on the back bumper of an old truck he's getting ready to take to the shredding mill. There was my picture of the day! It would've been better if I'd had my wide angle lens ready and if you could see his face, but I think its a good picture anyway. Your thoughts are always welcome.
Adding to the collection
Yesterday I found a $20 Aires Viscount ragefinder camera, circa 1959, at a church flea market. This purchase officially makes me a collector of vintage cameras because I have three vintage cameras now. If you have three of any object when one of them would suffice then you are a collector. The other cameras in my collection are a Yashica EZ-matic and a Crown Graphic. All three cameras do work. For this picture of the camera I placed it on the trunk of my car.
