Old and Curly SL66 Camera Leatherette

Rollei Sl66 Before The time has come. The Rollei needs a skin transplant.

The original covering has become hard, curled and inflexible.
No matter what glue is used the darn stuff just won't stay put!

I guess I shouldn't complain too much, it's hung on there since 'bout 1970.

Disasters & family photos

For many days now we have had constant television reports of the floodings in Queensland.
We have heard the sad news of people who have lost their lives and seen images of the enormous damage done to houses, buildings and to whole towns.
With many homes inundated, I wonder how many photographs and precious family memories have been lost as photo collections and computers are submerged.
