Do you recognize any of these cameras??

I got the urge recently to buy some old vintage cameras from ebay.  I'm actually too young to remember any of these (I'm 34) but I think they look so cool.  The top left photo is a Brownie Starlet, top right is a Brownie Reflex and bottom right is an Argus.  I honestly just bought them to take photographs of them but I guess I should do a little research and try to figure out how to use them.  I'm not even sure if they are "working" cameras but I'm going to give them a whirl or at least try when I get the chance.  

What was the first camera you had as a kid?  I think the furthest I can remember back was having one of those long rectangle shaped cameras, almost like the shape of a brick but a little thinner.  I don't know what brand it was or what they were called but I think that's the first camera I remember using.  I remember being fascinated with cameras even when I was a little girl.  I wanted to take a ton of pictures but always felt like I had to "save" my film since I only had 24 exposures.  Ahh...those were the days.  Thank goodness for digital now.

I'd love to hear your experiences as a kid with your first camera...please leave a comment to share!

The vintage camera prints above are now available on my shop here... Vintage Camera Photo Set  (also available as individual prints upon request)

I just want to say Happy Easter to all of my wonderful friends and followers.  I hope you have an enjoyable day with your families tomorrow. Bring on the egg hunts and Easter ham!

These actually aren't real eggs, I found them on ebay.  They're ceramic but look and feel just like real eggs....how cool.

Happy Easter!

If this photograph looks familiar to you, you're right...I posted this on my blog months ago.  So why am I showing you again?  Well, I've been trying to figure out what kind of flower this is but I'm at a loss and am hoping you can help me.  Any flower experts out there??  I need to find out what type of flower this is because it's going to be used for stock photography.  

The only other thing I know about this flower other than what you see in the picture is that it was fairly tall on long stems, all growing up together...almost like a bush but not "bushy" looking.  I'd say it was about 5 feet tall.  I took this pic in October of last year in New Jersey.  Any ideas?  I've tried looking on flower search sites but am coming up dry.  If you have an idea, please leave a comment.  

UPDATE: The mystery has been solved thanks to my Facebook and Twitter friends!  It's a Cosmos.  Officially... cosmos bippinatus.. from family of asteraceae.  Thank you my friends, you're a huge help!  

This flower print is available on my shop here... "Beauty Upon Us"

Have a great weekend!

I forgot to share this new photograph here on my blog when I added it to my shop last month.  Aren't these tulips pretty?  They're one of my favorite spring flowers.  I love the straight stems and graceful shapes of the petals.  While driving around yesterday, I saw tulips for the first time this year in someone's flower bed.  They were so gorgeous and I was wishing it was my yard so I could take their picture!  Sometimes I see the best photo opps in someone's yard but of course I can't invade their territory...unless I ask of course.  I'm a little too shy for that though.  My husband says I should get over it but I still feel funny.  :)

Have a great day!
