I know I have some rather strange photo ideas sometimes. I've been thinking of a series of a creature looking out of the water toward shore. But, look what turns up on the Northwest Collector Camera site! It uses the insides of a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye. Good to 100 feet. All I need to do is replace the glass in front of the lens. I really need to quit thinking about dumb projects. LOL  |

Cool,
Looks like something you'd see on an old Thunderbirds or Fireball XL-5 show. I've gotta see what they want for something like this. I know, I'm a sucker for one off cameras.

Well I gave $29.50 with shipping for this one. It was on Northwest Collector Camera's website.
There are some other ones like it with a different name. But the prices scared me.

Curt - completely off-topic, but did you know that the theme to Fireball XL-5 is one of the bestselling records of all time?
G'man - not so much 'Help' as in 'Professional Help' more a sort of Kind Person to gently lead you away!! LOL
Regards - John

It'll be more like medical help when the wife sees all the new toys that came today.  |

Greyhoundman,
You should feel pretty good about your latest purchase.
If global warning continues and the seas rise as predicted you may be the only member of this group equipped to keep on taking pictures.
Now all you need are flippers and a snorkel.

No. But I have used up all her bookcases for cameras. The books got put in the closet. |
