The Pets we never had

I have always been fascinated by dogs since childhood. I like them and have had a variety of experiences including being bitten by one Ms Tina (a pom) who got me 14 injections around my naval.

Ever since we moved into our own house, we have become friends with a lot with stray dogs and for some reason they are now laying pups in our parking lot. The first lot was Harry and Scary (named by my daughter) who have been adopted now and are living in great surroundings.
Hairy and Scary just before they were sent to their new home ...

With the mom ... a really smart lady who did her best to take care of her kids...
I thought that after finding a home for Hairy and Scary, it was over, but then this happened!

Spotty because she has spots and Browny because he is brown

Strangely these guys never let me touch them but come and ask me for food and want to play with me and the kids. I guess these are our pets at the end of the day and we do what best we can to take care of them rather than finding them a new homes ...

Agfa Click III - The epitome of simplicity



The camera is one of the most user friendly cameras to operate, note that I just say operate and not anything else. Getting film for it is a big task and getting the film washed is even bigger a task.

The camera helps one understand the basics of photography well as it can be dissected and striped into parts and assembled back again n less than 5 mins.

On its hay day, the camera would have been a stud considering the fact that it has options to adjust its aperture to suit different lighting conditions.

The Tower 50



I was looking around for information on this camera on the internet and managed to find very less. I was hoping that some day this camera would help me become a millionaire by way of finding an antique collector who would pay be enough for this, but it looks like I ll have to work my way to become a millionaire now. The Tower 50 is apparently available for 50-100 USD n shops ... boo hoo hoo.

About the camera, its a solid piece, takes in regular 35MM film and has elaborate instructions as you can see, its a solid piece of German engineering, the results are awesome, will soon take some photos and post them.
