Sears TLS Mk II
Pictures in this set were taken by a recently-acquired Sears TLS, Mk II camera, made in 1967. It is a solid piece of equipment and still performs admirably. I love being able to carry it around and use it in public.

You know how when you're loading a fresh roll of film in your camera and you have to click the shutter a time or two while you're loading the film? Evidently, I shot this part of a frame while doing it.

Perseid
|
|
|
This was my attempt at trying to catch a meteor duing the Perseid meteor shower of 2013. I didn't get any meteors passing by in this frame, but two airplanes happened to go by right through the middle of my frame. It was clear when I started, then clouds began to roll in. That's why there are gaps toward the end of the star streaks - clouds obliterated part of them during the exposure.
