    The Old Grenade............

    This is the old type of Grenade used during World War II, and often referred to as a "Pine Apple" Grenade. Some of you might remember a John Wayne movie where he put the pin between his teeth and pulled it out...not going to happen in real life because you would end up pulling all your teeth...

    What do you think happened to her? ..............

    What do you think happened to Amelia Earhart? Do you think she ran out of gas and crashed in the ocean? Could she have been shot down by the Japanese? What is your take on this? Kelley (Texas) :)...

    "Black Folk's" Soap..........

    I am slowly, but surely recovering from the three broken vertebrates in my neck. I have regained approximately 96 to 98% use of my hands, but still have to use a walker at this time. It is a little difficult, but I am now starting to take a few pictures around the house, crude pictures, but...

    Last week, I purchased a used Sony NEX-6 camera in mint/like new condition from eBay. This camera will enable me to use my collection of Minolta MD lenses from the 1970's. Yesterday, I took a few test pictures using a Minolta MD Rokkor-X 135mm F3.5 lens that was made in 1979. Pictures were...

    What is the slowest shutter speed you can use? ............

    This question comes to mind from time to time and below is a link that will give you the answer as per se. With tripods, monopods, and all types of built-in anti shake modes in the camera body or lens, this question becomes even more important. This is an easy to read article and one that you...

    Old Gas Pumps...............

    This is a picture of the old gas pumps in front of the old gas station in the small farming community a short distance South of San Antonio. This picture was taken at a different angle than the original picture that I posted last week. These gas pumps were probably in use during the 1950's...

    Old General Store................

    This is a picture of what remains of the old general store in the small community South of San Antonio, Texas.

    Hummingbird Feeder...........

    Repaired my Hummingbird feeder yesterday, getting ready for their arrival in a few weeks. The original glass jar broke off at the neck and needed to be replaced. The bottle easily screwed into the base and I glued the top holder directly to the bottle with some Dow Corning Silicone Adhesive. I...

    Standing guard..........

    I took this picture of a Goose who appears to be standing guard over a flock of ducks at a stock tank in Eastern Bexar County, Texas. Knowing how they can possibly be of a nasty, mean tempered disposition, I did not mess with him. This picture was taken with a Sony A300 DSLR camera using a...

    Old Barber Shop.........

    I took this simple picture yesterday in a poor part of San Antonio after visiting an old friend of the family. There is a lot of history in this area populated predominantly by the Black population of San Antonio that affords a great opportunity for taking some colorful and interesting...

    The Cat..........

    This is a picture of an old stray cat that showed up at our house about six years ago. We gave him a free meal and he never left. I was testing an old Minolta MD Tele Rokkor-X 135mm F3.5 lens attached to my Sony A300 DSLR camera when I took this picture. This old lens was made in the 1970's...

    Experiementing with old Minolta Lenses..............

    It is a gloomy, cool winter day, and with nothing to do short of getting into some mischief around here, I decided to experiment with an old Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm F1.4 prime lens. This lens was manufactured in 1977, back during to the peak of the film camera's era. The lens is completely...
