If you go here and visit, I ask only that you read the accompanying text after you bust out laughing.

I'll post new representative pics when I get them, but I won't delete all of the ones there now, so as to remind me that I am not a perfick photog. :blush:

Shoot, you probably just started a trend, Pete.  Or maybe they already have an app for that. :cool:

How did you shoot the 620? Did you have some 620 lying around, or did you adapt it?

Robert, I'm fortunate to have several empty 620 film spindles (*ssshh!* It's a secret), so I re-roll 120 film onto one of those, using a changing bag.  I've been doing it for 10 years now, so it takes me less than a minute, on average.  Adapting a 120 spindle with scissors or nail clippers is far too time-consuming by comparison, and it's too often that they're too wide to fit in a Six-20 camera.

Aw Pete, that's nothing. Coulda' happened to anybody, as Spanky used to say. My avatar at RFF is a triple exposure I made of a Harley Softail. I did this with a Konica I and I hadn't noticed that the film was not winding on. So I decided this was just artistic intent instead of an inept blunder.  :rolleyes:

I like it Pete...  Proof we don't always practice what we preach. Smiley

Thanks, guys.  Can't say I feel better about myself, but at least I know I'm not alone.  Smiley

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks, Pete. I rather like the superimposed numbers -- not that I'd want that all the time, mind you. :-)

Pete - This is an accident with a pleasant outcome, IMO.  I see what you mean about the nice lens performance.

Julio, you've just proved what I said in a similar thread:  I'm providing a service that others are not.  Smiley  

Thank you, James.  I appreciate your kindness.

New pics posted, shot for World Toy Camera Day 2011, on 15 October.  Much better results, far as I'm concerned.  Details in photo captions and in remarks.  See here.  Thanks, gang!
