Show me a camera that has MOJO!

[Bobbo]

Here's my latest repair project...pretty nasty to start with. Got it for free off of clevername when he decided to give up on his every model yashica-collecting quest.

The lens has a huge ding in the filter ring that was straightened with a pair of pliers...and I mean the pliers you find in a car mechanic's toolbox. The nasty vinyl went bye-bye, and it's been dissassembled to clean out the VF.

I have to tear the lens apart to get out some old foam that got in it...grr...find some new covering like a nice leather, and I think I'll repaint it after I strip the chrome off with muric acid (pool cleaner). Here's a quick question: Black, Gray, or Olive? I think olive personally, but what does everyone else think?

Oh well, I like seeing cameras that get used...that makes me happy inside.

Good night,
Bob Clark

MOJO:

" It doesn't necessarily mean it "has to have sexual power"; it's the sense of it and the sense of it. Slang is not literal; it would be paradoxical for it to be so.[/QUOTE]

In blues songs it specifically refers to sexual power, as do most other references to power by religious people (witness suddenPapal concern).

Mojo

Mojo is from Black English, first recorded in the mid-1920s. It is common throughout the South. The earliest recorded usages are in reference to the blues and jazz music. The meaning has always been magic, charm, or amulet or more broadly the power and influence derived from such a supernatural source.

It is probably African in origin. Gullah (the dialect of the South Carolina Atlantic islands) has the word moco meaning witchcraft or magic. And the Fulani language of Africa has the word moco'o meaning a shaman.
