Today: (this is the best angle I have of the same area)

 

I have a good start to a pretty good collection as it is now. I am always looking into more. I am a photographer and the old stuff out there makes me really appreciate photography. I haven't used any of it yet, but I have film and video cameras dating back to the 30's with more always being added...

When i get a chance I will snap some pics of all my old cameras...

 

New York state governor Nelson Rockefeller's 1960 Chrysler Imperial 4-window limousine with body by Ghia in Turin, Italy. Ghia built 16 limos that year but only Rocky's had the formal roof and an oval back gl***. This photo was when the car was new. The car still exists.

 

I have a few old cameras around here somewhere,one is a square box that says "bear"and one that pops out like an accordian...I will see if I can find them all
