Camera and Coffee

[Rodchenko]

Nice trio Rodchenko!

Thank you John. I very much enjoy your contributions to this thread.

Now, today's shot, from the first of three cafes I visited today (for various reasons), is of my very favourite camera of all:

Edit: I should, perhaps, add that the bakery cafe is being extended, hence the temporary boarding.

M2 & J12 (adding a filter-ring really helps with the handling, acts as small hood and looks like it should have always been there )

Looks very good and I like the idea with the filter-ring!

Now there's a pretty thing!

Now, today: I was at the hospital all day for tests, so I had a small pair of cameras. Oh - and it wasn't cola; they'd run out of tea cups

These are a little corny, but it was a gift. And it does keep the coffee warm.

John E--what is the meaning of your avatar? The little girl somehow looks lost...

Nice cameras and layout, but surely that must be tea in the cup, no?

The girl in the picture was prisoner S21-0174 at the Tuol Sleng prison (S-21). That is the picture taken of her prior to her execution for crimes against the state by the Khmer Rouge.

I don't know her name but I'll never forget her face.

John--good grief--looks like just a child.
Thanks for the explanation---I think...

Yeah. Always tea with me. I can't drink coffee any more. But there's no separate thread for us tea addicts.

My previous avatar, Czeslawa Kwoka, was a 14 year old Polish Catholic girl who died in a Nazi concentration camp. They killed her because they could.

Nice pair.

Nice pair.

Thank you. I rather like them.

maybe i could change the name of the thread to 'camera and warm beverage'...

I drink tea too every now and then. Just wanted to make sure what was in your cup wasn't some sad version of coffee. That would have been outrageous!

- How would you like your coffee?
- Black. Black as the night on a moonless night!
- ...Pretty black!

Recognize the dialog?

Still, there are limits for everything. Coffee-wise, I guess you know yours.
