This is one of the latest cameras I found for my collection. I got it for only a little over $7 because it didn't work. I took it apart and found out it was suffering from the "bad capacitor" issue. I soldered in a new one and now it works like a charm!

These selfless souls gave up their lives in defense of America - The Home Of The Free And The Land Of The Brave.

A corner on the main road going through my town. In town, the street is called Division Street, but it's actually Route 45 and runs from the Great Lakes all the way down to the Gulf Of Mexico.

Another Chinese-made clone of the Minolta X-300. I have my doubts as to whether or not this is an official clone. The name plate where "Argus" is located has rounded-off corners to the left and the right of the name. Almost as if somebody had sanded off the original name and painted on Argus instead. Another doubt comes because I have never seen another camera like this anywhere on the internet. Update: A contact of mine found one of these for sale, and it was the whole camera kit - camera, box, manual, etc. I guess that proves it's a legitimate clone. Thanks, Xata!

There's a place out in the middle of nowhere called Willow Creek. Apparently, it's this big venue you can book to have a wedding at. They might want to clean up this old Chevrolet truck, though.
