the canonet that belongs to brian's parents, and that took photos of him when he was a little boy. it only works on manual right now, but we're both just happy i was able to make it work and shoot with it :)
the crocheted strap that my mom made. i've been telling her that she should produce more because my flickr friends alone could keep her in business ;)

arch - can't wait till you get your A-1, you're gonna love it!
scott - i was trying to keep the glorious one for her site ;) i like this sepia a lot, too...but there the color one is my icon now.
jessica - i know you have a canonet...i'm coming to you with my questions...double booyah!
thanks all! whoever would like to order a strap, drop me a line. mom's working on different ones right now. i guess what would help is the length/color you want.

I used a Canonet for an almost-point-and-shoot for several years. Broke my heart when the shutter started sticking but I couldn't find anyone to repair it. I loved that camera. Mine didn't have quite as nice accessories, though!

Set mom up with a shop! I was just saying I need something more beautiful and comfortable for a strap. I'd buy a ton.
The depth and texture on your shot has me drooling. It's one of those shots that you look at and say to yourself, "Yes, that's exactly what I want to be able to produce!"

I love this!

It's a QL series Canon(et), isn't it? Oh, nostalgia... :) This is same as my very first camera inherited from my father. It has a yellow transparent square for focusing... Must be so fun taking shots with it.

the crocheted strap is a really nice touch and it shows that this camera has found a good home, I came by a 35RD in a similar manner, so I understand the attachment
