We burned an old magnesium wheel in a fire when we were kids. Besides a welder, it was the brightest flame I ever saw.

Trip into town done, gas for Suburban, can for lawn mower, diesel can for tractor, propane tank for BBQ. I ain't ready to give any of it up! Still pissing down and I'm going to be a fair weather equip operator, only have 5 holes to dig, want to not do that in the rain. Should be good in an hour or two.

I'll bet it was! That's what the old flash bulbs used...
I have Daddy's old Kodak Brownie that still uses those.

Jay Leno sure havin' a rough go of it lately. This time it's a motorcicle accident. He was test ridin' one of his classics, left the street to cut across a parking lot, ran into a cable barrier that was strung across the parking lot 
Clothes lined him it did. Broke his clavicle and a few more bones. The article didn't say if the bike was hurt

I've got my Dad's 110 box camera that you look down into. Aprox 75 years old...

This one will aim either from the back or the top. I just wish I could find film for it.

He will probably own that lot when it's settled...
I was on the yearbook staff in high school. I had a Yachika D. Great camera and large format. It's a double lens reflex. I wouldn't mind having another but I don't have a darkroom.

I haven't bought film for years, but it;s still available. Not cheap,
Then you gotta find someone that develops it. I know most around here stopped years ago.
We have a good mom and pop camera store in Macon. In fact, it's where Daddy bought this camera in the late 40s or early 50s. They may still have film for it. Takes 620 film.I haven't bought film for years, but it;s still available. Not cheap,
That is a nice camera for sure! My father had a Sears Mamiya Sekor with a good F stop, think 2.4 or something, took great pics, I have it now. Remember Fuji film had great greens. Never developed myself but did do astrophotography with that camera and a nice F5 Cave Optics telescope with a clock drive (extended exposure).

Oops. I said 110. Takes 120. Knew that didn’t sound right. 110 is the really short, wide cartridge.
I went to 2 different high schools, One had a darkroom and one didn't. I never developed myself but helped in there a lot trying to learn. We used to turn the enlarger around a d expose on the floor afo almost poster sixed prints. All black and white of course. It was all a lot of fun.
Those were 2 1/4x 2 1/4 negative size. You could blow them up a long ways. Full page in the yearbook was no problam. Hasselblad was a 4x4. That was huge. Remember the Kodak Instamatics with the flash cubes? Those negatives were about as big as your thumbnail. Teem that with a plastic lenz and you could get top quality prints. LMAO

I took a summer class in photography. Maybe 8th? We developed pics ourselves. Pretty cool to watch them as they appear.

That's the 110 size I believe
Lots of fun. Something I could get into again. I still have my old 35mm.
Just use a closet lol
I did that too! Was a picture of an old semi truck. I had my grandmother’s box camera. I never got to keep the picture, went on the wall in art class.
Have to replace this foo foo valve. On top of gas tank with exhaust pipe directly under gas tank. Serviceable? Not in my opinion.
