Virgina Sites & Camera Heritage Museum

Google & Mary LOVE the Virginia Welcome Center at Lambsburg.

The Springsteen movie, Deliver Me From Nowhere was playing at the Buchanan Theatre. 

I love old neon, even if it isn't lit up.

Mary found the Camera Heritage Museum in Staunton, VA on Roadside America. David Schwartz gave us a great tour of his museum. There is so much great stuff. I highly recommend checking it out if you're ever in the area.

 

I LOVE the Snoopy-Matic camera from 1961.

Kiwi Camera Service Swap Meet

Today, Kiwi Camera Service in Orlando had a free community swap meet where you could buy, sell & trade all things related to photography. We've been wanting to come here for the last 2 events but were never available. 

We took lots of stuff & were able to sell a lot of it.



Google was set up right next to our tables. He got to meet lots of new friends. 

 

It was so great to see Preston.

 

He bought some good stuff.

Google helped us sell camera bags.


There was such a variety of equipment for sale.


Wet Plate Collodian Photography by Aaron Scott was set up to shoot portraits & make prints.

They have a nice retail shop.


While overseeing the whole event, Michael was working on some repairs. He has an amazing shop. Definitely a great place to go if you need equipment repaired.
