Funny how that children's game"Cooties" became a word that we kids from the 50's and 60's used our whole lives! Somehow my 8 year old grandson still knows about"cooties". He told his 4 year old sister not to get her cooties on his straw [emoji44][emoji2]OMG!!!! Your cameras have Cooties!!! LOL

Our local fair every summer has an antiques area that has different judged categories. After years of walking past them and saying “I have one of those...”, we entered 5 items and took a first place, 2 seconds, a third, and fourth. Got to start a list for items for next year!

There isn't anything in that photograph I don't like.

It's kind of awesome and cool in its own way I suppose, but probably not for the reasons you think, unless you recognize it for what it really is. You might want to take a closer look at the photo.
Except for some firebrick used at the base, the rest of the "great masonry" is fake.
Here's another piece of work by Oppenheim titled Architectural Cactus Grove, #1-6.
Needless to say, the cacti aren't real, either.

These cameras still work.
This is a picture of my very first camera, the "Donald Duck" camera. With it, I took an historical photo - the first flag raising at the grade school I graduated from, taken in 1948. I'm pretty sure that picture has now vanished into the mists of time, but if it turns up, I want to share it with the current administration of Encanto School in Phoenix.
...and here's a photo my dad took of me with that camera hanging around my neck in 1950, on vacation seaside in Oceanside, California. I was 11 years old at the time.

This photo makes me smile because they included "bellows" on a plastic camera.

This old building is less than a mile from my old neighborhood and the house I grew up in.
In the 1950s, it was a little family-owned grocery store. The owners lived upstairs. I don't remember their names, but I believe they were Greeks. Customers who had telephones could call the store, place their grocery order, and one of the sons would deliver the groceries to your door. Anyone other than me remember little stores like that?
The old building has somehow survived, and is now smack dab in a transportation corridor that is undergoing new growth and gentrification due to a recently finished commuter light rail track system less than half a mile behind it.
I don't know who owns the property now...I've seen no "For Sale" signs on it in recent memory. But someone is gonna make a killing on this property within the next year or so.
It's hard to see in my photograph here, but there's some interesting brickwork on this old building. I'd love to see what the inside looks like, even though I'm pretty sure it's being used for a shooting gallery and other illegal activities.
