we got lots of these here in Southern Nevada. must be from all that fallout from the Test-Site.

i voted for Johnny U. here is my real choice:

isn't that about 125 pounds. kinda light in the saddle, eh?

there's a book about this subject... on a personal note: my almost 4 year old loves music. she has several CD that i've burned for her. one of them has fun/satire tunes...Allan Sherman, The Chipmonks, and a bunch of Dr. Demento stuff. one tune, "Fish Heads" is one of her favs. during the chorus: fish heads fishes heads, rollie pollie fish heads, fish heads fish heads, eat them up, yum. she always says fish cats...and insists that the phrase is fish cats.

here's a Santa Barbra Lensless Camera. i have 3, 4x5s (varying focal lengths) and a 5x7. i also have a super wide angle pinhole (4X5). sorry no pic. my zoneplate camera is an old cheap Russian made "Lubitel TLR". i removed the shutter and lens, mounted the zoneplate on a piece of shim stock in which i punched a small hole, and mounted that into the shutter mount. took about 10 minutes time.

it has nothing to do with a camera lens...other than it is anti-lens... it is a Zone Plate. used in leu of a camera lens, the circles are alternating opaque non-opaque redering the subject very soft focused. (from the web): i'm a pinhole camera photographer (aspiring pro) and i'm experimenting with zone plates. the avatar is a huge blow-up, in real life they are very small. average aperture is about f/100. so, J Larsen wins the prize (if you wanna call it a prize)! i'm getting back my first set of pix taken with my homemade zone plate camera...J Larsen will win a print or three.

LOL-her room is ready.

wow-ya'll are some right smart folks. but, i'm afraid the guesses so far are incorrect. here's a hint: it has something to do with the photographic arts.

the only thing i can say RE: Charlie's Angels, the TV show, part 1 (which i had to see with my spouse) and part 2 which i will never see: one can take this as 'Kiss My Ass' or Vomit. your pick.

i just can't believe Joe Kapp and Roman Gabriel were left off the list. i voted for Johnny U. had a flat-top ala Gerry Mulligan. B)

earplugs...cotton doesn't work.
