One of the new "retro" Camaros. In keeping with my theme of using old cameras to make new images, this new Camaro that emulates the looks of the ones from the late-1960's is a perfect subject.

A mannequin holding down the fort at John Brown Melons. I purchased a nice cantaloupe that day. Believe it or not, when I purchased the cantaloupe, there were no actual humans working at this stand. There was a box where you put your money in for whatever you bought and it was on the "honor system." It must work there, for this place has been in business for as long as I can remember.

The gazebo near the Carmi Public Library, featuring the new bronze statue. The first one was destroyed when a car accidentally ran over it. The camera had two different choices for aperture, a color setting and a black and white setting. I chose the color setting for all the shots with the camera because it was the larger of the two apertures.

A small, abandoned building in Norris City about 3 blocks from my house. It's my guess that this used to be connected to the railroad line that ran through the heart of town many years ago; that it served some sort of depot building function. The camera had two different choices for aperture, a color setting and a black and white setting. I chose the color setting for all the shots with the camera because it was the larger of the two apertures.

Some cattle-themed decorations in a local driveway. The film was quite expired and shows some signs of it in this image, but all in all, it wasn't too bad.
