Each year in my little town, the high school seniors go on a week-long trip to Washington, D.C., and the juniors get to paint their names on the side of this building. They used to paint them on the viaduct before it was torn down. I got to paint my name on the viaduct a long time ago, and still a long time before they tore it down around 1996 or so. These names were part of the Class of 2017.

This is an old building downtown, five blocks from my house. It used to house the Norris City Auto Parts, but hasn't done so for over two decades. Now, it is an antiques store. I've always liked the architecture of the building.

I just got this camera earlier this week and ran a roll of black and white film through it yesterday. It takes the Minolta MD mount lenses, and you can see I've got one on in the picture. The reason it takes the Minolta mount lenses is because it is an officially licensed camera by Minolta, made in the Chinese Seagull factory and is actually a rebadged Minolta X-300. When Minolta moved their production to China in 1990, they had the Seagull factory take over building their manual-focus cameras. This was one such camera and Seagull used many different names for this camera. I have found at least 14 different names their Minolta X-300 copies went under. Names such as: Centon DF-300 Soligor SR-300 MD Kalimar KX 5000 Vivitar V50 Seagull DF-300 Seagull DF-300A Seagull DF-300X Carena DF-300 Carena SX-300 Phoenix P-3000 Argus DF-300 Revue DF-300 Safari DF-300 Samyang DF-400x Texer EX-3 Zenit DF-300 Zenit DF-300x Kinon X-380

A local mansion that the owners stopped living in and it sits vacant, unused. They moved to a little house right behind it. It is one of the oldest homes in my little town of Norris City, and is the only mansion.
