My Hands

1 min read
Mine are the hands of your best friend, filled with love for you. Mine are the hands that will be holding yours on our wedding day, when we promise to love each other today, tomorrow and forever. Mine are the hands that will always be there to lend you strength and comfort when you need it. Mine are the hands that, even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, offering undiminished tenderness with their touch. These are my hands, and yours.

The easiest way I can think of to explain how to restore a vintage camera is to restore one, photographing each step in the restoration process. To that end, I went on eBay and bought a Welta Perle that was in pretty bad shape, but that didn't look like it would be hopeless. Here are a few of the "before" photos, detailing the damage: Okay, now that I have a fairly good idea what is wrong with it, I can start making repairs. It will be a beautiful and fully functioning camera when I am done. First, I am going to clean the glass (lenses and viewfinder). To do this, I am going to use distilled water (to remove general crud), a 50/50 mix of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide (to kill and remove fungus), and naphtha (lighter fluid) to remove grease and oil. I'll apply each solvent, in turn, with cotton swabs and remove it with them too. I'll put t on with a wet end and then mop it up with the dry end. I'll twist each swab slowly, so it lifts dirt away from the glass instead of rubbing

We were talking and we were happy. Then she heard her dog making weird noises. He was staggering around and fell down. She went to check on him. He started bleeding from every orfice. Someone had poisoned him with rat poison (warfarin, which causes massive internal bleeding). His insides pretty much liquified. He was in great pain and must have been like that for some time before she found him. He died quickly after that, with my wife petting him. It takes a very special kind of asshole to do that to a dog.

thankyou for llama !!

You are welcome.

:happybounce: Thank you so very much for the :llama: ! :hug: Hope you have a wonderful day! ^_^

You're welcome. As I recall, you sent me one too.

Hello! :wave: Welcome to Monochrome-Photos!


I hope you enjoy your stay in the group, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. :aww:

Thank you. Do you have a place to put this in your group? I used to teach photography in college and I have written 90 tutorials on the subject, reconstructed from my old notes.

Photography tutorials index

Hmm, we don't have a specific folder for tutorials... Though given the photo you chose for the "preview" image, I would suggest putting it in the "Black & White" folder! :nod:
