eBay is my new favorite vice. My first camera purchase arrived today – the Argus Argoflex 75. As soon as I find another 620 spool, I’ll be in business. I have another Argus 75 and the Olympus on the way. Weeeee! I’ll post a photo of the Argoflex very soon. I love to just look at it and admire it. On a completely unrelated note, here’s one more reason to love The Spankers, if you didn’t already.

Well, I’m doing newspaper interviews now thanks to my famous prize-winning photograph. I will be the featured “emerging artist” in the Sunday Tribune. How about that?

Taken while sampling my Mamiya MSX. I’ve already decided to use my winnings (did I mention first place includes a cash prize?!) to buy a new(old) camera. Or two, depending on the price. Just tonight I won an Argus Argoflex 75 on ebay for a whopping $5. Yeehaw! How can I resist at a price like that? However, I must show some restraint. I’d like to purchase at least one “serious” camera so I can pretend I’m a pro once in a while. I’ve been browsing the Nikon and Pentax systems on ebay and there are lots of promising candidates. Decisions, decisions. Once I’ve made my final purchase, I’ll list the Mamiya on ebay. It’s not a bad camera, it just doesn’t suit me.
