Today: (this is the best angle I have of the same area)

 

I have a good start to a pretty good collection as it is now. I am always looking into more. I am a photographer and the old stuff out there makes me really appreciate photography. I haven't used any of it yet, but I have film and video cameras dating back to the 30's with more always being added...

When i get a chance I will snap some pics of all my old cameras...

 

New York state governor Nelson Rockefeller's 1960 Chrysler Imperial 4-window limousine with body by Ghia in Turin, Italy. Ghia built 16 limos that year but only Rocky's had the formal roof and an oval back glass. This photo was when the car was new. The car still exists.

 

I have a few old cameras around here somewhere,one is a square box that says "bear"and one that pops out like an accordian...I will see if I can find them all
