Picture This...

Some were gifts, one was a thrift store find and another was inherited: From Sawyer's, GAF and Bell & Howell. Two editions of the Viewmaster Viewer, a Panavue II slide viewer and my grandfather's Bell & Howell 8mm camera.

Trailer Time!

Airstreams, Doublewides, Propane Tanks & Picnic Tables. See you at the Motor Court!

Procurers, Juvies, Prostitutes, Convicts & Queers

Sensationalist covers of incendiary literature of the 1950s and 1960s, all of which live on my bookshelves quite peacefully.

The Compact, Portable, Precision-Engineered...

1960s Walz 8mm Movie Editor. A fun gem from my collection that I still have yet to plug in and test out. I've got the camera and the editing bay. All I need is some film and it's a go!
