C35AF2 Konica P&Sr

[Ronald Bishop]

Beings PF started this P&S thread thought I'd show some that I took yesterday.
This is about 7 frames stitched together, I tried cropping but to me it looks better un-cropped.
    Can anyone name the man 4th from the right?

What was Bing Crosby doing there....?

[Ronald Bishop]

He is a Gonzaga alumni, he made them famous :eek:

I thought being a Cinderella Basketball team made them famous.

That came out pretty good.  The C35AF2 is supposed to have the same lens as the original C35, and when the AF is working right, you can't go wrong.

Ron,

Wasn't Bing Crosby a relativre of yours? Am I imagining that he used to go to your farm area for hunting or fishing, or both?

A sad story about my last Konica 35: I left it in my camera bag in my driveway behind my car. To make it even sadder there was also an Automatic Rolliflex in the camera bag-- both gifts from Mike Elek. Not remembering what I left behind the --car, I rolled over the bag. I felt a sudden bump. Thinking I hit a border rock, I instinctively drove forward quickly, right over the camera bag for a second time.

The Rollei went back to Mike as a part camera and I kept the crushed Konica 35 as a souvenir of that photo tragedy.

Just read in the newspaper where they may have to cover these painting, the previous owner took the name Bulldog with him when he sold the place. The new owner was going to name it 'The Zags' but the good people across the street thought it would degrade the teams or the squeaky clean name reputation that they enjoy now. {Ya Sure??} So the new owner is running a contest to 'Name That Tavern'.
   Now the previous owner commissioned the wall painting {which is not finished }. There is one basketball players image which is finished but now with the new owner he wants it taken off also.
    The old owner is going to open another 'bar' and name it The Bulldog and since he commissioned the paintings he would like for them to be removed also.
    So if they decide to cover it up I will be on hand to get a few shots while the work is in progress :mad:

That's the problem with commercial art.  It only exists at the whim of the owner.  Just think what would have happened if Michaelangelo had gotten in a tiff with the bishop?
